International Monetary Fund managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said the Group of 20 of the world's biggest economies would have a more global reach if it included a few new members.
"We could add two or three countries," Strauss-Kahn told reporters after a speech in the Norwegian capital on Friday.
He did not name any countries that he believes should be added but said that, for example, Scandinavian countries did not have a seat at the G20, nor did African states.
Asked if he was concerned about other countries imposing a tax on capital inflows as Brazil has done, he said: "No, I'm not afraid and it's not that important. I am not sure if it's that effective or manageable."
