First sentence: Welcome to this conference on "Economic Policy and Equity," a part of the IMF's continuing efforts to better understand equity, and to integrate equity considerations into the operational work of the IMF.
Description: Reflecting its concern with the social implications of economic reform, as well as with the quality of macroeconomic adjustment and growth, the IMF held a conference in June 1998 on economic policy and equity, the proceedings of which are presented in this volume. This conference followed up on one the IMF had held in 1995 on income distribution and sustainable growth. Since this time, experiences with globalization as well as the financial crisis that has affected several countries have deepened the IMF's concern about the need to find the proper responses to equity issues.
