The IMF Executive Board also named two other members of IEO. They are Der Jiun Chia, who is the Assistant Managing Director of the Markets and Investment Group at the Monetary Authority of Singapore; and Pernilla Meyersson, who is currently the acting chief of staff at the General Secretariat of the Sveriges Riksbank.
