98. In the economic field, Spain is following and has followed all the properly so-called economic activities of the United Nations and of the specialized agencies with the greatest interest. Spain is already a member of the International Bank for Reconstruction and development and the International Monetary Fund. One event which occurred during this past year has been termed historic; I refer to the establishment of the Economic Commission for Africa, of which Spain is also a member. Another event of world-wide importance which is about to take place shortly is the establishment of the Special Fund which seems to be emerging from the reports of the Preparatory Committee [A/3908] and of the Economic and Social Council [A/3848]. Spain is following the consideration of these reports and the process of setting up the Special Fund with the greatest interest, and will do all that lies in its power to co-operate in the establishment of the Fund.
