	Rato says under no U.S. pressure - Boston.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		IMF Managing Director Rodrigo Rato, speaking at a press conference on the first day of a two-day meeting near Beijing of the G20 group of developed and developing countries, said he was not under pressure from the U.S. Treasury to harden up the lender's role on currency policy surveillance.
		Earlier in September, Treasury Under Secretary Tim Adams accused the IMF of being "asleep at the wheel" on its surveillance role, a stiff criticism that some observers said afterward was intended partly to allay Congressional anger over mounting U.S. deficits on its trade with China.
		Rato said Chinese authorities were well aware it was in their interest to modify their currency policy and indicated some sympathy with their view that they needed time to do so.

		Rato’s statements follow concerns over a possible collapse of the Euro monetary system following the landslide rejection of the EU constitution in France and the Netherlands and suggestions from Italian government officials to abandon the single EU currency system.
		Rato underlined that a single currency by itself is no guarantee of prosperity, which depends “on other necessary reforms at domestic level”.
		Rato cautioned that several Euro zone countries such as Italy face the danger of stagnation and said growth differences between country-members are increasing.

	Equipo Nizkor - IMF's Rato keeps mum on vision
		Rodrigo Rato has played his cards close to his chest since taking over as managing director of the International Monetary Fund, travelling extensively but keeping quiet on his vision for the fund.
		Mr Rato, whose appointment followed a controversial selection procedure, says he is a realist when it comes to the fund's relationship with its big shareholders.
		Mr Rato sees the main role of the fund as primarily limited to macroeconomic analysis, technical assistance and efforts to help poor countries absorb aid flows efficiently.

		AFX meanwhile adds Rato said the world's leading economies should take advantage of a benign global economic outlook to strengthen their domestic economies.
		Reuters further reports Rato said emerging economies, which have a growing stake in the global economy, should deepen progress in reducing economic weaknesses and set the stage for continued growth in productivity, job creation and poverty reduction.

		Rato has ``had eight years as economy minister in a country with a successful economy, creating 4 million jobs, balancing the budget, which are things the IMF wants,'' said Rafael Pampillon, an economics professor at the Instituto de Empresa in Madrid.
		Rato was born in Madrid in 1949 into a family that owned a diversified company with interests in mining until the mid-1990s, and a chain of radio stations.
		Rato may also have to decide whether the IMF should play a bigger role in forcing China and other nations to end fixed exchange rates and appreciate currencies, a task the lender has so far avoided, said Ted Truman, a senior fellow at the Institute for International Economics, a Washington-based research group.

		Rato comes from a wealthy, entrepreneurial family in the north of Spain.
		According to the Rato legend, as a result of this humiliation Don Ramón had a burning desire for his youngest and favourite son, Rodrigo, to become central bank governor and restore the family honour.
		The setback proved a blessing in disguise for Rato when, after a stumbling campaign, the party's new leader, Mariano Rajoy, was soundly beaten by the socialist opposition in an election overshadowed by the terrorist attacks on Madrid.

	Barcelona Business: Rodrigo Rato is wrong for the IMF
		One of Rato’s family firms received a large unsecured loan from HSBC in Madrid during the period when the bent Gescartera brokerage was using the bank as part of its illegal operations.
		Rato refused to offer an explanation of his involvement in the Gescartera network, and his party colleague Maria Luisa Fernanda Rudi, the parliament’s speaker, blatently misinterpreted the constitutional clause requiring MPs to disclose their extra-parliamentary interests to protect Rato from questioning.
		While Rato’s IMF candidacy is supported by Latin American leaders, their citizens regularly target Spanish multinationals for criticism and demonstrations.

		Rato’s selection differed from the previous succession at the IMF in 2000, when the United States rejected Germany’s first candidate before settling on Koehler.
		Sharp-tongued but known for his dry sense of humor, Rato’s political ambitions were dampened at home after he was passed over to succeed former Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar as leader of the conservative Popular Party, which was unexpectedly defeated at the polls in March.
		Rato’s credentials abroad include an intimate knowledge of Latin America from Spain’s close business ties, common language and cultural relations with the region.

		Just as in the case of every previous Managing Director, Rodrigo Rato is from Western Europe, and was chosen through an opaque series of back-room negotiations among that region's IMF shareholder governments.
		Surely the manner of Rato's selection is the best proof of his observation: hardly a nod to any process designed to find the best candidate, just the whim of the region with one-third of the votes at the board.
		Today's appointment of Rodrigo Rato is sad confirmation that the IMF has no intention of becoming more open, accountable, or transparent - least of all to the people who suffer under its policies.
