Background
The International Monetary Fund is facing growing pressure from emerging economic powers and campaigners to appoint a non-European as Dominique Strauss-Kahn's successor, following the resignation of the imprisoned IMF managing director.
China and Brazil have demanded that the succession process is handled in a fair and open way, and are calling for an end to the status quo under which a European has led the Fund since its creation in 1945.
The IMF has yet to reveal how Strauss-Kahn's replacement will be chosen, but Brazil's finance minister Guido Mantega has already insisted that the process must be more transparent.
