Hamjatta, Kohler needs all the help and cooperation he can muster from the membership of the IMF especially from the US and Congress. Interestingly, the Asian Finance Ministers have just abandoned the idea of forming an Asian Fund after agreeing to establishing one less than twenty-four hours ago; the pressure to abandon the idea is coming from the US and the EU. Good luck to Mr. Kohler on his new job. sidi sanneh ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
