About

imfboss.org gives you up-to-date information, press coverage, insider info, civil society and official reactions to the IMF leadership process.

We are calling for an end to the European heads of state”s stranglehold on the post and for the IMF to stay true to their 2009 commitment to “adopt an open, merit-based and transparent process for the selection of IMF management”.

Following in the footsteps of worldbankpresident.org we hope to create a hub for discussion and debate on IMF governance, the selection process and the pros and cons of potential candidates.

Keep checking back for updates, get involved and get in touch.

  1. I think it is the opportune time for civil society to press the G7/8/20 who are still in charge of the IMF to become serious in dealing with the dysfunctional international monetary system with its financial imbalances, currency manipulation and speculation, and a costly global reserve system. Civil society has to speak louder about the need to move away from national or regional reserve currencies. First by adopting substitution SDRs and secondly by debating the need for a monetary standard with convertible currencies and fixed exchange rates. The IIMT will soon publish a book making the case for a carbon standard, entitled The Tierra Solution: Monetary Transformation, Climate Change and Sustainable Development.. In the mean time, the argument is made in the Stakeholder Forum website as a thinkpiece for the Rio 2012 Summit. http://www.earthsummit2012.org/index.php/pubs/sf-publications/412-sdg-thinkpieces

    Who are you? Where are you based? Who funds you? I’m an ally, but I want to know.

      I can help Alex Jacobs a little bit.

      A WHOIS search shows that this site has been registered by the Bretton Woods Project, a reputable thinktank (with it’s own website) which monitors the World Bank and IMF.

      Hi Alex, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Thanks to Joe for replying.

      Yes, the Bretton Woods Project is involved along with bloggers from a number of other NGOs and think tanks some of which are represented on our blog roll and have signed onto joint statements, letters and briefings.
