US Treasury Secretary Yellen: IMF, World Bank reflect American values, counterweigh to China
“In the face of what’s likely to be Republican skepticism when she testifies on Capitol Hill, Yellen will laud institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) that ‘reflect American values,’” said Bloomberg early Tuesday in Asia as it released transcript of US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s scheduled Testimony in front of the House Financial Services Committee, up for publishing later in the US Session.
The news also adds that the Treasury chief’s remarks showcase the battle lines between the world’s two largest economies as they vie for influence in the developing world.
