IMF's Lagarde hopes China's economic transition will be orderly
JAKARTA (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund said on Wednesday it was speaking with Chinese authorities about the country's "very significant" economic transition, which it hoped would be managed in an "orderly fashion".
IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde told reporters, "We are certainly talking to the Chinese authorities about their transition to a more market-determined economy, to an internationalization of their currency.
"It's a very significant transition, one that hopefully can be managed in an orderly fashion," added Lagarde, speaking at the end of a two-day visit to the Indonesian capital.
