The Report of the International Financial Institution Advisory Commission: Comments on the Critics

In July 1999, Congress completed appointment of the members of the International Financial Institution Advisory Commission (IFIAC). Between September 9, 1999 and March 8, 2000, the Commission met twelve times and, in addition, held three days of public hearings. On March 8, 2000, it presented its Report to the Speaker and the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives. The Report stimulated active discussion of issues that might have been addressed at the fiftieth anniversary of the Bretton Woods Conference, in 1994, but were not.
