MARRAKECH, Morocco - Support increased on Wednesday for the U.S.-backed call to boost the International Monetary Fund's quota lending resources without shareholding changes, according to statements from various countries issued at the IMF's annual meeting in Morocco.
IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said the extra resources were needed to ensure the IMF can respond to another large-scale crisis. With momentum growing behind the U.S. proposal, she has called for a deadline to realign voting power to reflect the growth of big emerging markets and preserve the fund's political legitimacy, adding that without an adjustment, "we are stuck."
She said in her statement to the International Monetary and Financial Committee that the U.S. was committed to a "fair and simple" share realignment based on economic size, but "we regret" that one has not been reached.
