Critics Expect Limited Action at IMF Meeting in Washington
U S officials anticipate mainly critical talk with little visible action as 118 nations’ finance ministers and central bankers meet in Washington.

The immediate goal remains restoring functional currency values after Nixon’s August 15 New Economic Policy.
