WASHINGTON: Even as the
global economy is recovering fast from crisis, it is
subject to vulnerabilities from debt, commodities and natural disasters
like the one in Japan, an IMF panel has said.


"Although we are in a better position now
than where we were a year ago, the recovery has gained headway, there
are significant vulnerabilities still in the global economic and
financial system," the chairman of the International Monetary and
Financial Committee (IMFC), Tharman Shanmugaratnam, said
here yesterday.
