With respect to what the IMF should do, Strauss-Kahn said that the fund will promote its efforts on improving the effectiveness of its policy advice so as to provide better service to a "broader " range of people in Asia.

"We will strive for an even-handed approach to surveillance, which will enhance the effectiveness of the IMF's policy advice. We will serve a broader Asian audience through increased outreach activities," he said at the closing conference.

He also mentioned the Group of 20 meetings, for which the IMF is in charge of developing and analyzing policies at practical level, in that the fund will work "closely" with Asian countries to strengthen the global financial safety net.

The IMF head also vowed that the IMF will continue its part in the poverty issue, continuously providing help to low-income countries in Asia.
