Last month’s EABER newsletter by Professor Shinji Takagi is on the IMF and East Asia. It draws from his chapter titled ‘Why did the IMF become Irrelevant in East Asia?’ in the upcoming PAFTAD book. Nice read and he tells it how it is.

Takagi is well placed to write on the IMF since he was Senior Economist at the Fund from 1983-90 and is currently an Adviser of its Independent Evaluation Office.
