"I agree wholeheartedly with these transparency initiatives. I would also urge the IMF to keep going further forward particularly in regards to archives, as well as releasing country reports as part of a regular pattern of their activities, and to move to a system of releasing mandatory reports. In order for us not to repeat the same mistakes over and over again, we must be able to discern patterns from real world data. Secrecy is to be shunned since it promotes an imbalance in power and always leads to abuses.

The comment above is in tune with Moghadam's ideas, because Rahim states that

(a)

secret reports are not welcome in the IMF any more because they actually distort real world data.

(b)

some concealment measures should be preserved so as to protect IMF archives and country reports.

(c)

no country reports should be mandatory to avoid the imbalance of power among the world's leading nations.

(d)

the transparency initiatives promoted by the IMF may eventually lead to mistakes and to an abuse of power.

(e)

the IMF should regularly publish reports in order to keep the world informed on financial and economic issues the institution has adopted.
