ISTANBUL - US treasury secretary Timothy Geithner is urging the International Monetary Fund to implement reforms that will give emerging markets and developing countries more say in the financial institution.

In a statement yesterday Geithner noted that G-20 countries had committed to shifting some control in the IMF from countries with strong representation to those with little input.
