		<description><![CDATA[By Nora Lustig - To CGD’s “Choosing the Next Managing Director of the IMF” online survey, I would like to add a list of five key questions which would be a litmus test for my vote (if I had a chance to vote): 1. Should the IMF be turned into a true lender of last resort? If yes, how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Nora Lustig - After listening to Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s speech at the CGD-SAIS conference on April 23, I almost had to pinch myself: new lending instruments without conditionality and without pre-established limits? Stand-by agreements with social conditionality—that is, requirements designed to protect the poorest? These are very important steps for an institution, which until recently, developing countries saw as [...]]]></description>
