Speaking at the Warsaw School of Economics, IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said on Monday that while the recent global financial crisis had exposed some weaknesses in Europe’s institutional framework, there is now an opportunity to strengthen integration and cooperation across the continent. “The crisis has been a setback, but the benefits of integration are beyond doubt,” he said. “Now is the time to take the European project to the next, higher level.” The IMF chief said Poland shows that “good policies and strong institutions matter.”
