The International Monetary Fund has exhausted its ability to keep acting as a global lender of last resort, in large measure because the U.S. Congress has failed to pass appropriations to refill its coffers. President Clinton has asked Greenspan and Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin to set up a meeting with their counterparts in 22 countries, stirring some hopeful talk of a coordinated cut in global interest rates. But Greenspan promptly denied that any such move...
