World Bank Wolfensohn To Join IMF/LatAm Press Conf. Fri.

Dow Jones Newswires

WASHINGTON -- World Bank President James Wolfensohn will return
from abroad in time to join the heads of the International Monetary Fund
and Inter-American Development Bank at a press conference at 2:30 p.m.
EDT Friday, a World Bank spokesman said Thursday.

The press conference will mark the end of a two-day gathering of Latin
American finance and central bank officials to discuss responses to the
Asian and Russian financial crises. U.S. and Canadian officials, including
U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, have also attended the meeting,
which was hastily called by IMF Managing Director Michel Camdessus
last week amid Russia's mounting financial turmoil.

Wolfensohn has been attending a Mediterranean Development Forum
conference in Marrakesh, Morocco, but will land in Washington around
11:00 a.m. EDT in time to make it to the final press conference, the
spokesman said.

Camdessus and Inter-American Development Bank President Enrique
Iglesias will also attend the press conference.
