“Under the status quo, they are falling short,” Bessent said of the twin institutions, speaking at an event held by the Institute of International Finance on Wednesday. He singled out the IMF for suffering from “mission creep.”
The Treasury chief said that the “international financial institutions must be singularly focused” on securing economic and financial sustainability. “I’m not talking about climate change or carbon footprints.”
