What with IMF boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn having been jailed on sex assault charges, there’s speculation about who’ll be replacing him. Calls from non-European countries to instate a non-European head have become increasingly vocal, especially in the aftermath French Strauss-Kahn’s shenanigans – so it’s interesting that The Economist looked to Trevor Manuel, among others, as a potential succcessor.
Obviously, Manuel’s a little low on the list, coming in just ahead of the governor of the bank of Mexico according to British bookmaker William Hill, who put the odds together. Still – the dudes at the Economist are calling him a ‘plausible contender,’ and it’d be nice to see the former Finance Minister break the European streak.
Also I’ve got a betting pool set up behind the bar, let me know if you’re interested.
