The International Monetary Fund (IMF) believe that new bank taxes and financial supervision is very practical to avoid a renewed crisis. Dominque Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of IMF, said that there was a lot of speculation but the Robin Hood tax (FTT) was not the best way to attack the speculation. There is a lot of reckless behaviour in the financial area but the FTT is not very helpful to attack that because it is a bad proxy for speculation. Instead, the IMF think that a bank impose and a financial activitities tax on the sector's pay and profits is very useful.
