WASHINGTON, April 16: If developing nations are not given more say in global financial institutions, they will leave the fold of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, a top Group of 24 official said on Friday.
“The current system of governance is completely out of
line with economic realities,” Ariel Buira, director of the
G24 Secretariat, told a news conference. “What is happening is that many countries are now moving away from these institutions.”
