IMF boss plans 5-nation fact-finding tour

    JOHANNESBURG

    The new head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will travel to Africa next month on his third regional fact-finding tour since he joined the IMF last month, the IMF said in a statement on Monday.

    The statement said Horst Koehler would visit Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon, Mozambique and South Africa in a seven-day tour starting on July 2.

    “The purpose of Mr Koehler’s trip is to hear perspectives on critical issues the African continent is facing,” the statement said. “He is particularly interested in the views of African countries on the role of the IMF and its involvement in restructuring their economies.”
