Stimulus measures must remain until recovery firm
SIGNS of slow recovery are apparent in the world's economy and according to the International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, stimulus measures implemented to ward off the effects of the crisis should remain until the recovery is firm.
``Fiscal stimulus packages should comprise predominantly temporary measures...It should not become permanent'', the IMF said in a recent paper on ``The state of public finances:outlook and medium-term policies after the 2008 crisis''.
