1. (U) Mr. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing
Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF),
issued the following statement in Tashkent on June
18 at the conclusion of his visit to the Republic
of Uzbekistan:
BEGIN IMF STATEMENT
I am very satisfied with my first visit to the
Republic of Uzbekistan and thank the people of
Uzbekistan, President Karimov, First Deputy Prime
Minister Azimov, Governor of the Central Bank
Mulladjanov and other senior officials for their
hospitality and fruitful discussions. Our meetings
focused on the challenges the country faces in its
efforts to ensure sustainable growth. I also had
valuable exchanges today with the members of the
senate and representatives of media.
In my meeting with President Karimov, I welcomed
the economy's resilience to the global crisis,
which reflects largely the authorities' prudent
policies that enabled them to accumulate
considerable resources to support growth in this
period. We discussed the longer-term priority for
Uzbekistan which is to improve the standards of
living of the population. We also exchanged views
on the global crisis and the international economic
situation that is likely to prevail after the
crisis is over. In this context, we discussed the
role of regional cooperation in an increasingly
globalized world.
I assured that the IMF stands ready to support the
Republic of Uzbekistan in its efforts to reduce the
impact of the global crisis in the short term and
strengthen the medium-term goal of sustaining
higher and broad based economic growth.
