Lagos (INVESTADVOCATE)-Christine Lagarde, Managing Director (MD) of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has lambasted the United States (US) Congress for non-implementation of the  2010 Quota and Governance Reform.

“I am disappointed that necessary steps could not be taken to implement this important governance reform. The world is evolving, and we are fully committed to helping our membership finalize what it agreed in 2010 is needed to ensure that the Fund keeps pace with global change and helps meet emerging challenges. We understand that the U.S. administration will continue to work on securing the necessary legislative authorization, and we are hopeful that this will happen.

“The IMF remains fully committed to pursuing implementation of the governance reforms that have been agreed to make the Fund an even more effective and representative institution.” Lagarde said.
