IMF’s Georgieva Says Fund Has ‘Strong’ Partnership With China

(Bloomberg) — The International Monetary Fund and China have a “strong partnership,” the organization’s chief, Kristalina Georgieva, said as she wrapped up a visit to China.

“In a world where so many countries are vulnerable to the impact of the Covid and world shocks, it is critical that the IMF has the financial strength to help them,” Georgieva said in a video clip posted early Monday on her verified account on Weibo, the Chinese social media platform. “I’m grateful to China for recognizing the role of the IMF at the center of the global financial safety net.”
