Georgieva

The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) today selected Kristalina Georgieva to serve as IMF Managing Director and Chair of the Executive Board for a five-year term starting on October 1, 2019. Ms. Georgieva, who succeeds Christine Lagarde, is the first person from an emerging market economy to lead the IMF since its inception in 1944.

Bulgarian economist Kristalina Georgieva was confirmed on Wednesday as managing director of the International Monetary Fund, becoming the first head of the $1 trillion-asset global lender from an emerging market economy.

The International Monetary Fund Board of Directors is expected to approve Kristalina Georgieva as managing director of the financial institution on Wednesday. The Bulgarian is the only candidate and enjoys the support of both the European Union and the United States.

,,Kristalina Georgieva has a long and successful track record at the IMF and the World Bank. It's about a talented and persistent person.'' This was stated by the financier Emil Harsev in the BNT Morning Bloc. This is not Bulgaria's application for this position, it is supported by all EU Member States, based on its personal qualities.

Today the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is expected to interview Kristalina Georgieva, who is the only candidate for the post of Managing Director. This was announced at a regular press conference by the spokesman for the Jerry Rice Foundation earlier this month.

The IMF Executive Board will hold an interview with Kristalina Georgieva, BTA reports. It is scheduled for next week.

World Bank Chief Executive Officer Kristalina Georgieva is the only candidate for IMF director.

Further information will be provided.

World Bank Chief Executive Officer Kristalina Georgieva is the only candidate for IMF director, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said.

Kristalina Georgieva of Bulgaria, currently CEO of the World Bank, is unrivaled for the post of former managing director Christine Lagarde, who was elected to head the European Central Bank.

The International Monetary Fund has announced that it has approved a change in its statutes to remove the age requirement for the position of managing director, which removes the last obstacle to the nomination of Bulgarian Kristalina Georgieva, France Press reported.

The Board of Executive Directors of the International Monetary Fund has recommended that the age limit for the Managing Director of the Fund be dropped. This statement paves the way for Kristalina Georgieva, who is a candidate for the European Union, to head the IMF.

The International Monetary Fund has recommended the removal of the age limit for its managing director.

The measure is necessary because Kristalina Georgieva, selected by the 28 EU countries as candidate for Europe, exceed the limit.

The board requested the change to be accepted by the representatives of all 189 Member States.
