Camdessus to Address IMF Staff Today Amid Report of Resignation

Tue, 9 Nov 1999, 5:02pm EST

Washington, Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- International Monetary
Fund Managing Director Michel Camdessus will address IMF staff
today amid reports he will resign as head of the lender.

Camdessus will address the IMF staff at 3:15 Washington
time, and will hold a press conference afterward, the IMF said.
The media is invited to both events.

Speculation about Camdessus's possible resignation has been
heating up for months, and he has neither confirmed nor denied
it. An IMF spokesman in Washington wouldn't confirm or deny the
latest report today in a French daily newspaper, la Croix, that
Camdessus would resign this week.

IMF members re-elected Camdessus for a third five-year term
on Jan. 16, 1997. His fourth term will come up for renewal in
January 2002.

The 66-year-old Camdessus came under fire for the IMF's
handling of international financial and monetary crises that
swept Asia, Latin America and Russia in the past few years.
