Your point raises the important question: does the IMF actually require more money?

Absent any other agreements, what was the utility of this meeting?

Saudi Arabia should contribute to the IMF because they have the money to. Saudi contributing to it also means they can have a greater say in how it’s run, stopping it from being so Western-centric.

Andrew,
From what I can see, only one of the three targets have been achieved – raising more money for the IMF. There hasn’t been any agreement on fiscal stimuli and there hasn’t been any agreement on the regulation of banking.

You are right. There is no comparison in multiple ways.

If you comparison is between our country and Malaysia, I would agree that the differences are indeed stark and profound.

A key portion of that, I would assert, is the incomparably greater level of intellectual and creative freedom that exists in Malaysia.

In Kuala Lumpur, there exists a far, far greater degree of every form of personal liberty.

One can see that on a global stage Malaysian literature or art exists and is respected, although it is still small.

Our country does not enjoy similar levels of achievement.

Of course, the very liberties that exist in Malaysia would be deeply opposed by our clerical establishment.

Malaysia treats its people as adults capable of making decisions for their own lives.

Our clerical establishment, in contrast, believes that we are children to be denied intellectual freedoms, lest we err.

I do not now much about economy but we need that money urgently nowadays in Saudi. The country is growing and in a building phase. Plus why did not the country invest that money instead of just lending it ….. oh Saudi is not going to develop … It has had the money before Malaysia now look at the difference between the two countries…..

It solves none of the world problems and nothing just a photo shoot of rich leaders.
