Abstract

Probably the most useful way in which I can contribute to this conference is to put the seminar in some perspective. I will start by describing the changing role of the IMF in the financial sector, then comment on the growing importance of international standards in this area, and finally touch briefly on a number of other issues that we and our members are having to address as understanding of the central role of the financial sector develops.
