Secretary O'Neill called on the IMF to continue to improve its ability to quickly identify and prevent potential crises. Secretary O'Neill and his G7 partners were able to report progress on efforts to resolve sovereign debt crises when they occur. Secretary O'Neill also continued to press the World Bank and all multilateral development banks to insist on measurable results from loan and grant programs -- and to support countries that follow sound economic policies.
