Statement from Deputy Secretary Wolin Welcoming President Obama's Signing of
Legislation on U.S. Support for Assistance by International Financial Institutions to
Burma
10/5/2012

WASHINGTON - Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Neal S. Wolin today issued this statement following the President’s signing of H.R.
6431, a bill to provide flexibility to support assistance by International Financial Institutions to Burma:
“In enacting this bill, the President and Congress have demonstrated strong U.S. support for the critical role of the International Financial
Institutions (IFIs) in helping promote stronger institutions to ensure sound economic policy and good governance in Burma. This will
support inclusive development in Burma and help reintegrate the country into the international economic community. The law provides the
Administration with the flexibility to determine, in the national interest, whether to support, abstain on or vote against IFI financial
assistance for Burma. Implementation of this law will provide the United States with the ability to shape the policies and activities of these
institutions in a way that advances reform, good governance, transparency, and accountability in Burma.”
