WASHINGTON (Reuters) -European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde on Friday emphasised the importance of keeping monetary authorities independent from politics.
"While monetary policy stances are set to become more divergent, it is imperative that central banks have the independence to fully deliver on their mandates," she told fellow policymakers on the International Monetary and Financial Committee, an advisory body to the IMF.
