At the end of the meeting, I was privileged to join a handful of Ministers/Governors in a teleconference with the US Treasury on the eve of the first G-20 Summit in Washington on the global crisis.
Among the new institutions, I am pleased to see that the COMESA Fund will soon be up and running with its two windows, the Adjustment Facility and the COMESA Infrastructure Fund, based here in Mauritius. The first window addresses the problems related to liberalization of the economies of member-states while the second window addresses infrastructural problems of the region.
