ISTANBUL (AP) -- A key panel of the International Monetary Fund said yesterday that it supports giving more voting power to emerging market and developing countries, warning that the legitimacy of the institution was at stake.
The group's International Monetary and Financial Committee said it backs a shift of at least 5 percent of voting power from countries with ample representation to those with little influence. The move would seek to reflect changes in the global economy, with strong growth in countries that once lagged far behind the elite club of rich nations.
