The crisis is also striking countries like Brazil, Korea, and South Africa, which appeared to have made substantial and lasting progress towards macroeconomic stability. For this reason, the future shape of the International Monetary Fund is rapidly moving to the top of the agenda for world leaders as they prepare to meet in Washington in mid-November to discuss the future of the global financial system.
剑桥－当全球金融危机从发达经济体向新兴市场扩散的时候，它不只破坏了像委内瑞拉、俄罗斯和阿根廷这样的国家治理受到挑战的经济体，还有其他的经济体。金融危机也打击了像巴西、韩国和南非这样的国家，这些国家似乎在宏观经济稳定方面取得了重大和持久的进步。因此，当世界各国领导人准备于十一月中旬在华盛顿开会讨论全球金融系统的未来的时候，国际货币基金组织未来的形态正在迅速成为这些领导人的会议的首要议题。
