A year from now, global economic governance will look very different indeed.
DSK's departure at the head of the IMF has opened up a debate not only on who should replace him, but whether the Europeans should be allowed to appoint his replacement. Voices are increasing for a non-European candidate to succeed Strauss-Kahn. This is a sentiment that I currently believe has merit.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision will lose its current Chairperson, the head of the Dutch Central Bank Nout Wellink, within the next few weeks.
The head of the Financial Stability Board in Basel, Mario Draghi, will be leaving to head the European Central Bank this October, and has not yet been replaced. The President of the World Bank Group, Robert Zoellick, has a term of office that extends to the end of June 2012. That will be the last of the pending appointments
Pascal Lamy, head of the WTO, is in office until September 2013, so the focus will be on the financial side for the moment.
