Institute Of International Finance
The Institute of International Finance, Inc. (IIF) is the world's only global association of financial institutions. It was created by 38 banks of leading industrialised countries in 1983 in response to the international debt crisis of the early 1980s. The IIF now serves its membership in three distinct ways:
- Providing analysis and research to its members on emerging markets and other central issues in global finance
- Developing and advancing representative views and constructive proposals that influence the public debate on policy proposals, including those of multilateral agencies, and broad themes of common interest to participants in global financial markets
- Coordinating a network for members to exchange views and offer opportunities for effective dialogue among policymakers, regulators, and private sector financial institutions
The Institute's 35-member Board of Directors is led by Chairman Douglas Flint; Vice Chairmen Roberto Setúbal, Walter Kielholz, Richard E. Waugh, and Marcus Wallenberg (also Treasurer of the IIF). The IIF's Managing Director is Charles Dallara, who has held the position since 1993. The Institute is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and in November 2010 opened its Asia Representative Office in Beijing.
