Abstract

I am very pleased to welcome you to these Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund. I would like to express my appreciation to Chairman Mahesh Acharya, whose work in Nepal shows a deep understanding of many of the issues I wish to address today—and to my colleague and friend Michel Camdessus. We work ever more closely together, and I salute the remarkable team he leads.
