Reuters. 17 September 2001. IMF Meeting Indefinitely Postponed - German Sources. BERLIN -- German finance ministry sources said on Monday that the World Bank and International Monetary Fund meetings originally scheduled to take place in Washington for September 29-30 would be indefinitely postponed. "The IMF annual meeting will not take place and will be indefinitely postponed," the sources told Reuters. The sources added they were not sure whether, where and when a planned parallel meeting of finance ministers from the Group of Seven industrialized nations would take place. Officials at the two international lenders, as well as local police, have been pushing for the meetings to be called off after the terror strikes in New York and Washington on Tuesday. The IMF and World Bank meetings had already been scaled back to two days because of the threat of violent protests by those who do not agree with the institutions' policies. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
