How about some choice comments from the IMF? No? Tough ;-)

  • ECB is doing a good job and we don't advocate any form pf premature tapering

  • It's important to reach a mutually beneficial Brexit deal as quickly as possible

  • German current account surplus is still large

  • German could still do more to increase its investment in infrastructure

  • There is a lot of uncertainty regarding US tax plans

  • G20 finance ministers will discuss US tax plans in Germany this week

  • Some proposals under discussion in US, such as border adjustment tax are likely to strengthen the dollar

  • This could have a spillover effect on other economies via the FX rate channel

Putting the world to rights as usual.
