A training center jointly built by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and
China was inaugurated on Wednesday in Dalian, a port city in Northeast China's
Liaoning Province.
The inauguration was attended by Liu Tinghuan, deputy governor of the
People's Bank of China (PBOC), Xia Deren, Mayor of Dalian, as well as IMF
officials and specialists including Leslie Lipschitz, director of IMF Institute,
and Robert Mundell, a Nobel laureate.
The center is the fourth IMF-backed training facility in the world. The other
three are based in Washington, Vienna and Singapore.
The friendly cooperation between China and IMF has kept expanding since China
resumed its legitimate membership in the IMF in 1980, said PBOC Deputy Governor
Liu Tinghuan, adding that completion of the new center would play an important
role in training personnel for financial administration in China.
A two-day high-ranking seminar on macro economic policies also began shortly
after the inauguration of the center.
