The 66 year old Gentlemen's Agreement that Europe would appoint the Managing Director of the IMF and US would appoint the World Bank President ended in 2010 <a href="http://www.imf.org/external/np/cm/2010/042510.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.imf.org/external/np/cm/2010/042510.htm</a><br /><br />In 1999 Karen reported the corrupt take-over of the second largest bank in the Philippines.

The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested the World Bank's Audit Committee to look into the cover- up. Instead, the Chair of the World Bank's Audit Committee requested an inquiry into the World Bank's Institutional Integrity Department.
