What You Need to Know

In partnership with Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Consorcio de Investigacion Economica y Social (CIES) and El Comercio in Peru, the IMF invites students from the region to submit questions to the Managing Director of the IMF, Mr. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, about the global economy, regional economic issues, the role of the IMF, and concerns about their own economic future.
