Dear IFM Program Members -
Please join me in congratulating Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas on his
selection as the next Chief Economist of the IMF. Here's a link to this
morning's IMF press release:
https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2022/01/10/pr2201-imf-managing-director-names-pierre-olivier-gourinchas-economic-counsellor-head-research-dept
After a transition period of a few months, Pierre-Olivier will begin his
new role full-time on April 1, 2022. He will trade his "IFM"
responsibilities for "IMF" duties at that time.
I am very grateful to Pierre-Olivier for his outstanding program
leadership. I will begin the process of identifying a new program
director in the next few weeks, and I welcome your suggestions and advice.
All best wishes for the New Year.
Jim Poterba
