"Socialist??How does printing money to loan to a debtor nation -for guarantees of privatization -equate with socialism? Seems to me that these crooks are creating a one world bank for the benefit of a very few. The polor opposite of socialism."

Head of IMF Proposes New Reserve Currency

IMF's Strauss-Kahn suggests IMF may one day provide global reserve asset

WASHINGTON February 26, 2010 (AP)

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the head of the International Monetary Fund, suggested Friday the organization might one day be called on to provide countries with a global reserve currency that would serve as an alternative to the U.S. dollar.

"That day has not yet come, but I think it is intellectually healthy to explore these kinds of ideas now," he said in a speech on the future mandate of the 186-nation Washington-based lending organization.

Strauss-Kahn said such an asset could be similar to but distinctly different from the IMF's special drawing rights, or SDRs, the accounting unit that countries use to hold funds within the IMF. It is based on a basket of major currencies.
He said having other alternatives to the dollar "would limit the extent to which the international monetary system as a whole depends on the policies and conditions of a single, albeit dominant, country." more->>
