Lorenzo Bini Smaghi has publicly stated that the institutions created by the Bretton-Woods Agreements – the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank – hold the stability of the international financial system among their rightful objectives, but he does not agree that, for the sake of such stability, they have contributed to poverty and a widening of the gap between rich and poor.
Muistutan Lorenzo Bini Smaghille, että ilman tehokkaita ja kaikkia yhtäläisesti koskevia sääntöjä EU olisi pelkkä löysä ryhmittymä, jonka koordinointivalta olisi vähäistä.
