PRESIDENT CLINTON NAMES MARGRETHE LUNDSAGER AS ALTERNATE U.S. EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR AT THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND
President Clinton today announced his intent to nominate Margrethe
Lundsager as Alternate U.S. Executive Director at the International
Monetary Fund (IMF).
Ms. Margrethe Lundsager, of Alexandria, Virginia, is the Advisor to
the U.S. Executive Director at the IMF. From 1996 to 2000, she served as
the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Trade and Investment Policy at the U.S.
Department of Treasury. Ms. Lundsager served as the Director of the Office
of Middle East and Asian Nations from 1991 to 1995. Prior to that she
served as Special Assistant to Treasury's Under Secretary for International
Affairs and Assistant to the U.S. Executive Director at the IMF.
Ms. Lundsager received her B.A. from American University and her M.A.
from the University of Maryland.
The International Monetary Fund is an international organization
of 182 member countries. It was established in 1946 to promote
international monetary cooperation, exchange stability, and orderly
exchange arrangements; to foster economic growth and high levels of
employment; and to provide temporary financial assistance to countries
under adequate safeguards to help ease balance of payments adjustment.
Since its creation, the purpose of the IMF has remained unchanged, but its
operations -- which involve surveillance, financial assistance, and
technical assistance -- have evolved to meet the needs of a changing world
economy.
