* Eagle Has Landed post in OOMF7/19/2011 4:55 PM [Eagle Has Landed] I posted this on Peeps Dinar in January 2011 IMF CANNOT force a country to revalue its currency - The IMF can exercise “firm surveillance” but it cannot compel a country to change its exchange rate. Nor can it order commercial foreign exchange dealers to change the prices at which they trade currencies. It can offer economic advice and discuss how changes in countries’ exchange rates might be in their own interest. It can also provide a forum, such as its new multilateral consultation mechanism or discussion on the IMF executive board, where other countries can urge a country to change its exchange rate procedures. However, in the end, the authority to make the change resides with the country alone.
