In Memoriam My issue today will be shorter than usual, but I hope you will understand and forgive me—today I was saying goodbye to an old friend. Ernesto Hernandez-Cata worked for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for 30 years and was head of the first IMF negotiation mission in Moscow from 1992 to 1995 after Russia joined the organization. A Cuban by nationality, born in Havana, Cuba, Ernesto grew up in Geneva, Switzerland, where his father worked at the International Telecommunication Union.

Very nice comment Sergey. Ernesto was my first boss at the Fund, and I learned a lot from him.
Thank you for this, and for being a friend and cherished colleague. Isabel Hernandez-Cata
