THE International Monetary Fund has awarded a six-month contract to Edelman Public Relations Worldwide and Wirthlin Worldwide to improve its image, following claims it is too secretive. 'I see this project as reinforcing our ongoing effort to increase the IMF's openness,' Shailendra Anjaria, director of the IMF's external relations department, said in a written statement. The IMF refused to say how much it would pay the two firms.
