ETHIOPIA: African ministers criticise IMF policies

African ministers said on Sunday it was time the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stopped "imposing" economic policies on the continent without consultation. Trevor Manual, the South African finance minister, told an economic conference in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, that there should be "nothing about us without us. I think it is time for decisions in the IMF to no longer to be imposed on us, but to derive from consultation with us."
