New IMF Blog

The UoEdinburgh Economics blog is not the only good economics blog. If you are interested in global economics issues, take a look at a new IMF blog at http://blog-imfdirect.imf.org/ Recent posts include: a performance comparion between Islamic and conventional banks during the financial crisis; Middle eaastern oil exporters and the crisis; and IMF governance reform. As with other blogs (apart of course from our own) readers should be intelligently sceptical - posts on the IMF blog are unlikely to be highly critical of the IMF!
