WASHINGTON (AFX) - French Finance Minister Thierry Breton called for the IMF to make recommendations on oil, according to an IMF delegation source.
The Fund could come forward with recommendations on questions such as alternative energy sources and market speculation, the source said.
'We need to talk about this here, in this forum,' Breton told the IMF's policymaking committee, according to the source.
Breton's proposal was supported by the UK and India, the source said. steve.whitehouse@afxnews.com fz/sw COPYRIGHT Copyright AFX News Limited 2005. All rights reserved.
