IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde has resigned from the IMF opening the way for her successor to be chosen.
WASHINGTON: International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde announced on Tuesday she had submitted her resignation from the global lender, saying she had more clarity about her nomination to be the next head of the European Central Bank. Lagarde said in a statement her resignation was effective Sept 12, opening the way for the IMF to choose its next leader.
“With greater clarity now on the process for my nomination as ECB President and the time it will take, I have made this decision in the best interest of the Fund,” she said in a statement.Lagarde’s resignation comes two weeks after her nomination on July 2 for the ECB top job. She did not immediately resign from the IMF because of uncertainty over whether the new European Parliament would approve her and other new EU leadership positions, sources told Reuters.If approved, she would take over as ECB president from Mario Draghi on Oct 31.Traditionally the post has always been held by a European, while the head of the IMF’s sister organisation, the World Bank, has always been an American.
