Statement Of U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew For The International Monetary And Financial Committee (IMFC) Meeting

Date 16/04/2016

As we meet this week, the global recovery remains uneven and there is a need for timely action by all to support global economic growth.  Achieving a sustained recovery with solid growth requires a comprehensive approach that employs all levers of economic policy—monetary, fiscal, and structural—to support the recovery.  We are pleased that the IMF is in a strong position to continue to play its central role in promoting growth and stability following implementation of the 2010 quota and governance reforms, which put its finances on a more stable footing.   Thanks to bipartisan Congressional support for the IMF quota and governance reforms, the United States has reaffirmed its commitment to a strong IMF.  Full implementation of the IMF governance reforms, including agreed changes to the Executive Board, will further increase the credibility of the institution.  The IMF also has a strong leadership team in place with the welcome reappointment of Madame Lagarde to a second term as Managing Director and of David Lipton as First Deputy Managing Director.

IMF Communiqué: G20 Finance Ministers And Central Bank Governors Meeting

Date 15/04/2016

1. The global recovery continues and the financial markets have recovered most of the ground lost earlier in the year since our February meeting in Shanghai. However, growth remains modest and uneven, and downside risks and uncertainties to the global outlook persist against the backdrop of continued financial volatility, challenges faced by commodity exporters and low inflation.
