  • IMF has to be capable of holding the excess reserves of Asia and the Middle Eastern countries. There should be some asset that the IMF can issue across a basket of currencies, which will be suitable for holding excess reserves. This will eliminate the current bias in favour of dollar-denominated US Treasury bills. This will wean the US from the addiction to other people’s money and make it start saving. It would also rebalance the world’s financial system. Maybe this will be the first fruits of the meltdown for Global Governance.

    The great meltdownBy: prashanth kamath | 09-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Very good point. Even though US has failed as the leader, no other country has any idea what the solution got to be. It is eazy to comment the leader - but no other country has the capacity to take its position. I am not talking of of its economic strength - no country is ready to experement with economy in as agile way as US does!
