Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Mr. Marco Buti:

We always do. The IMF has Article IV report which focus on national economies. They stop by in Brussels before coming, in this case, to Dublin, or we speak afterwards, so we are in close contact. The IMF, as well as other international organisations such as the OECD, shared the same paradigm of great moderation that all of us followed. If you look at the recommendation in their assessment, it is largely convergent with ours.
