The IMF
Time for a change
Why a euro-zone finance minister, even a talented one, should not lead the IMF

OFFICIALLY the search for a new head of the IMF, to replace Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who awaits trial on charges of sexual assault, has barely begun. The fund’s member governments have until June 10th to propose candidates, after which a shortlist will be drawn up. But in practice the race seems all but over. That is because European countries, which hold over a third of the votes on the IMF’s board, have rallied around a single contender: France’s finance minister, Christine Lagarde.

In contrast, emerging economies, which have long argued that the fund should have a non-European boss, have so far conspicuously failed to fix on an alternative candidate. The Americans, kingmakers in this contest, have said little in public but in private seem happy with Ms Lagarde, not least because they hope to keep both the deputy’s job at the fund and the presidency of the World Bank. Barring embarrassments, one French politician is likely to succeed another.

Ms Lagarde has many strengths. She has been a steady and successful finance minister, no mean feat with a boss as mercurial as Nicolas Sarkozy. A lawyer by profession, she lacks the technical background that the IMF’s best bosses have had, but she is a superb communicator, a good negotiator and, by all accounts, an excellent manager. Given the circumstances of Mr Strauss-Kahn’s departure, the fact that she is a woman is a bonus. It is not hard to see why even Western finance ministers with a low opinion of Mr Sarkozy have rushed to anoint her.

But it is still wrong. To begin with, the stitch-up, whereby the head of the IMF is a European and the head of the World Bank is an American, is a disgrace. International posts should be filled according to merit. And the growth of emerging economies makes it even less defensible.

Not exactly Europe’s moment

Moreover, the case against appointing a euro-zone finance minister as head of the IMF now is overwhelming. The main issue facing the fund is the euro zone. The fund is supposed to be an impartial arbiter of good economic policy. It is the only organisation likely to force a rethink of the euro zone’s failed strategy towards Greece, Ireland and Portugal. There were already fears that Mr Strauss-Kahn’s presidential ambitions led the fund to be too soft on Europe. Ms Lagarde has played a central role in forming the euro zone’s response to its debt crisis, and whatever her private views, she has a public record of defending the indefensible. Staggeringly, some Europeans have tried to argue that only one of their own can understand their continent’s complex politics; imagine the laughter if somebody had made the same argument for Argentina’s finance minister in the 1980s or Thailand’s in 1997.

Besides, there are people who could do the job well who do not happen to be euro-zone finance ministers. Stanley Fischer, the governor of Israel’s central bank and former number two at the IMF, has vast experience of international economics and financial crises. Agustín Carstens, head of Mexico’s central bank and also a former official at the fund, is another safe pair of hands. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Singapore’s finance minister and head of the IMF’s policy advisory committee, is widely admired for his technical and political skills. Among central banker types, Mark Carney (currently at the Bank of Canada) and Arminio Fraga (formerly president of Brazil’s outfit) have stood out. Admittedly, none of these men is perfect: Mr Fischer, for instance, is too old under existing rules and had a patchy record as deputy head of the fund. But none of them is as compromised as Ms Lagarde.

It is still not too late for emerging economies to unite around a different candidate, and for America to support their choice. Europe’s monopoly of the IMF’s leadership has long been an anomaly. It is time that it ended.

Still，translating is not an easy job. But I would try to accomplish it every day.
IMF, 是时候结束了！
——为什么一个欧元区的财政部长，甚至是很有天分的一个，不应该领导IMF?
对取代至今仍在等待因性侵接受审判的多米尼克·斯特劳斯·卡恩的国际货币基金组织新任总裁的官方选举，现在才刚刚开始。在6月10号之前，IMF的各成员国仍可提名候选人，，在这之后，IMF'便会起草一份候选人名单。但现实看来，候选过程似乎已经结束了。这是因为，手握三分之一选票的IMF欧洲成员国，都在支持同一个竞选者，法国财政部长——克里斯丁·拉加德
与此相反，为IMF应该有一个非欧洲总裁争论了许久的新兴国家们，到目前为止，并没有明显地确定出另一个竞选者。而美国，在这场角逐中具有很强话语权的成员，尽管罕有公开支持拉加德，但私下却对这位候选人很满意，这很有可能是因为美国想保住在IMF的副总裁和世界银行的主席两职。除非另有意外，否则，这位法国政治家很有可能脱颖而出。
拉加德夫人有很多优势，她是一个稳重且成功的财政部长，这对于有一个活跃易变的老板——尼古拉·萨科奇来说，绝非易事。作为一名职业律师，她并不像IMF最好的总裁那样有良好的技术背景，但她却很善于沟通，她是一个很好的谈判者，并且，据公众所言，也是一个出色的管理者。基于卡恩离职的原因，拉加德夫人是一位女性无疑是一个加分项。不难理解，为什么西方的财政部长对萨科奇的评价不高时依旧选择了拉加德。
但这仍然是错的，一开始就错了，凭什么IMF总裁就属于欧洲而世界银行主席属于美国，这种内部交易是可耻的！国际组织的职位该由候选人的功绩决定，而新兴国家的成长也为这个观点提供了事实支持。
不应该完全是欧洲的时间（其实很好理解，就是这场选举甚至其他国际所有组织的选举都不应该由欧洲和美国人操纵）
此外，现在这个案例中反对任命一个欧元区财政部长作为IMF总裁的呼声是压倒性的。IMF面对的最主要的问题是欧元区。IMF的定位应当是一个好的经济政策的公正的裁决者，但目前看来，这个组织似乎只是在强迫人们去重新思考欧元区对希腊，爱尔兰以及葡萄牙失败的战略。在卡恩任总裁时，就已经有人害怕他会领导IMF对欧洲执行过于温柔的政策。拉加德夫人已在欧元区对其自身的债务危机的回应中扮演了一个中心角色，而她的个人观点是，她有过一个捍卫理亏事实的公共记录。更为惊人的是，一部分欧洲人试图争论，只有一个欧洲人才能理解他们大陆那复杂的政治。这可令人发笑，这无异于在八十年代的阿根廷和97年的泰国争论同样的事情。（这个句子好理解，难翻译，希望多多指正！）
此外，还有许多能担任此职务的人却非欧元区的财政部长。 Stanley Fischer，以色列央行行长，也是IMF之前的二把手，在国际经济和财政危机上具有丰富的经验。Agustín Carstens，墨西哥央行行长，也是作为前IMF官员，则是另一个可靠的人选（此处直译为另一双可靠的双手，个人觉得是这个意思）。Tharman Shanmugaratnam，新加坡的财政部长，前IMF政策咨询委员会主席，因他的杰出技术和政治技能也受到广泛的认可。在所有的各国央行行长中，Mark Carney（目前加拿大央行行长）和Arminio Fraga（巴西央行的前任主席）也在考虑范围内（此处原文为“站了出来”，个人觉得这样翻译会好点）。但不可否认的是，这些人之中没有一个是完美的，例如Fischer先生，在现行的制度下显得有些老迈，同时，他在担任IMF第一副总裁时有过不合作的经历。但是，他们之中也没有任何一人会像拉加德一样妥协！
现在对于新兴国家来说，团结在一起并选出另一名候选人并让美国来支持他们的抉择仍为时未晚。欧洲对IMF的领导权太久的垄断已经是个异象，而现在，是时候结束了！

Discussions to choose a new leader for the IMF should take into consideration the increasingly changing global economic landscape.
The selection process for the new managing director of the IMF should be global in substance, not just in form.
Qualified candidates from Asia and from Latin America and other emerging markets must be considered. In fact with the problems in Europe, it might be wise to get someone who is totally objective from the situation.

It is time for a change. A number of countries in Europe have significant financial problems. Candidate from Europe has a conflict of interest issue. Also, it is overdue for a capable person from developing countries to take on this role to balance the influence of developed countries. IMF should not be the office of a few countries.

关于Lagarde的一篇转载：
French businessman seeks new probe into Lagarde
Updated: 2011-05-31 09:54
PARIS -- A French businessman and anti-corruption campaigner has asked prosecutors to investigate the role of French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde, the front runner to become the next IMF head, in a recent corporate deal.
Jean-Marie Kuhn accuses Lagarde of abusing her authority by allowing state bank Caisse des Depots to buy a 25 percent stake in GRTgaz, the gas grid of utility GDF Suez, earlier this year, according to a copy of his letter to a state prosecutor.
"We consider this pure fantasy," a finance ministry official told Reuters in reaction to Kuhn's allegation.
France's Finance Minister Christine Lagarde attends a news conference in Brasilia May 29, 2011. Lagarde said on Monday that her candidacy to lead the International Monetary Fund is in the spirit of reforms undertaken by the previous IMF leadership.[Photo/Agencies]
Lagarde, who won respect for her role in handling the euro zone debt crisis, already faces an inquiry into her 2008 decision to settle a dispute between the state and businessman Bernard Tapie, a friend of President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Lagarde has denied any misconduct in the Tapie affair.
The former top lawyer has quickly emerged as the leading candidate to replace Dominique Strauss-Kahn as managing director of the International Monetary Fund.
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Sunday that she had won the support of leaders from the Group of Eight nations when they met on Thursday and Friday in France.
Kuhn has asked prosecutor Jean-Louis Nadal -- who is also investigating the Tapie case -- to seek a court investigation into Lagarde's role in GDF Suez's sale of the GRTgaz stake to Caisse des Depots.
He said the transaction used public funds for an investment that was neither strategic for the bank nor served a purpose for the general public.
"This is embezzlement of public funds of which Lagarde is an accomplice, committing in the process numerous abuses of authority and power," Kuhn said in his letter to Nadal, adding that his action was not politically motivated.

Quote from The Economist

Who should lead the IMF?
The next managing director of the IMF should definitely not be a European
Luigi Zingales our guest wrote on May 20th 2011, 9:13 GMT

WHEN Dominique Strauss-Kahn was appointed managing director of the International Monetary Fund in the Fall of 2007 many developing countries objected. Their opposition was not to the person, but to the tradition that wanted a European at the head of the IMF and an American at the head of the World Bank. This antiquated spoil system is a leftover of a post-World War II order, where the winning powers shared the leading positions. This arrangement made some sense when the United States represented 35% of the world economy and Western Europe another 26%. Today, the balance of power has changed. The United States represents only 20% of the world economy and Western Europe 19%.

While not obvious at the time, there was an even bigger reason why the IMF director appointed in 2007 should not come from Europe: to avoid conflicts of interest. When IMF’s lending was mostly concentrated in Asia and Latin America, it made perfect sense that the director came from a country outside those regions. With what credibility would a Japanese managing director impose tough conditions to Korea or a Chilean director to Argentina? At a time when most of the borrowing was done by developing countries and most of the lending by developed ones, the primacy of the latter was justified.

The world has changed now. Not only do the developing countries represent a much bigger share of the world output, they also represent an even bigger share of the world lending. As you do not want the biggest borrowers to be in charge of administering a bank, why do you want a European to be in charge of the IMF?

Thus the next managing director of the IMF should definitely not be a European. Ideally, s/he should not come from the traditional Western World either. If the IMF wants to be a truly international institution and not just a leftover of WWII, it should be representative of the world. In this respect a managing director coming from China or India would be ideal.

Given the difficulties of the present time the new managing director should also be very competent. In this respect Dominique Strauss-Kahn was a very good choice, which helped the world (and in particular Europe) cope with the worst financial crisis in 60 years.

S/he should also have enough credibility with the West and the financial markets. An Asian managing director would be a strong enough departure from tradition, that it should be softened with somebody who is well known and respected in the Western world.

We also need a person who needs no training on the job, but can start running from day one. When Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested he was on his way to a crucial meeting. The world cannot wait for somebody to learn.

From the list in The Economist, the only name who fits all these criteria is Montek Singh Ahluwalia. Thus, if I have to restrict my choice to this list, I will vote for him. Nevertheless, there is another Indian who fits all these criteria, it is Raghuram Rajan, former chief economist of the IMF. Having spent 25 years in the States and taught in a business school, he might be a more palatable choice for the United States and the financial world.

Thanks for those who spare the time to read the article and share the views.

Personally I like Christine Lagarde as she knows when & how to play tough and also use her softer side as a woman when it is called for. However, this will not stop me disliking the status quo politics that US & European powers had been patronising since the advent of a new world order. In my opinion, it will be marginally fair to say that emerging economies (at least BRIC) play a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the current economic system and sooner or later they will have to be given their due share.

In this context, there is no better opportunity than now for these Western hegemonists and institutions to make rational-theoretic decision making and allow non-Westerns to compete on a level-playing field. Having said that, what better way than to start with the leadership in the highest international economic body?

题外话：看了这篇文章，也让我深思，中国缺少这样的international candidate, 在国际政治和经济舞台上。所以我们要超着这个方面努力！Maybe one day, there will be one, just from one of us! You never know!!

Main Point:
Euro-zone has appointed the candidate, and it holds over a third of the votes on the IMF’s board. The emerging economies have not reach agreements on the candidate. U.S. wants to be powerful both in the World Bank and IMF, but it does not have candidate surpassing Christine Lagarde.

Although there are other people who could do the job, they are not perfect. It seems the boss of IMF will be Christine Lagarde unless U.S. and the emerging economies unify to contend against the euro-zone.

Words and sentences:

await trial：候审

sexual assault：性侵犯

all but over：all but是几乎的意思，all but over已经结束。

rally around：单个词来看，rally是回复的意思，这个词在前几期Follow Me出现过，被用作价格的上升，rally

around 则是支持的意思。

conspicuously [kəns'pikjuəsli]
adv.显著地，明显地；超群地，惹人注目地
同义词：obviously, clearly, remarkably, notably, markedly

kingmaker ['kiŋ,meikə(r)]
n. 拥立国王者；有权支配要职的任命者；竞选的后台老板

no mean feat ：绝非易事

by profession：就职业来说，在职业上

disgrace [dis'ɡreis]
n. 耻辱；丢脸的人或事；失宠
vt. 使……失宠；给……丢脸；使……蒙受耻辱；贬黜

impartial [im'pɑ:ʃəl]
adj. 公平的，公正的；不偏不倚的

arbiter ['ɑ:bitə]
n. [法] 仲裁者；裁决人

But in practice the race seems all but over.
但是实际上竞选看起来几乎结束了。

In contrast, emerging economies, which have long argued that the fund should have a non-European boss, have so far

conspicuously failed to fix on an alternative candidate.
相反，新兴经济体，一直认为IMF的老板不应该是欧洲人，目前为止，明显没有确定候选人。

Given the circumstances of Mr Strauss-Kahn's departure, the fact that she is a woman is a bonus.
在Strauss Kahn离任的情况下，Christine Lagarde是女人的事实是额外的优势。

International posts should be filled according to merit.
应该根据业绩确定（由谁）担任国际职位。

The fund is supposed to be an impartial arbiter of good economic policy.
国际基金组织应该是好的经济政策的公正裁决者。

Ms Lagarde has played a central role in forming the euro zone's response to its debt crisis, and whatever her private views, she

has a public record of defending the indefensible.
Lagarde女士在欧洲区对债务危机的应对中起到重要作用，无论她的私人观点如何，她的公众行为无可指责。

Besides, there are people who could do the job well who do not happen to be euro-zone finance ministers.
此外，也有非欧洲人士能够胜任职务。

Europe's monopoly of the IMF's leadership has long been an anomaly. It is time that it ended.
欧洲对于IMF的领导权的垄断是一个长期的不正常现象。是时候中止了。这里，注意anomaly这个单词，在金融

学中，这个词有很高的出现频率。

follow:6.6 IMF总裁候选人拉加德30日开始全球公关之旅。她的行程中有中国、印度和中东国家，向新兴国家展现友好。目前看来，欧洲内部不出问题，美国不变卦，她当选无疑。单从选票角度看，中巴印等国并非她当选的最大障碍。虽然，新型国家在IMF投票权增加，但欧盟和美国分别为32%,17.4%,就已超过半数，如上所述，那么即便是金砖五国不同意也无济于事。她目前所担心的若不能获得新兴国家的支持，即便有欧盟和美国撑腰，也难以获得欧以外的支持，难以树立权威。所以，新兴国家应联合起来，力荐一位非欧洲的候选人，结束欧洲的垄断地位，即使现在说这样的话还尚早。但只要我们积极活动，“千里之堤，溃于蚁穴”，当然我们的壮大速度远大于蚁穴，我们有信心撼动其垄断地位的。

Well, the presidents of World Bank and IMF are always the game of very few elites defined by the developed countries. Lin Yifu is currently a Chinese who are most close to that elite circle but never had the chance to be in the circle. Kahn's trial of sexual harrasment gave Legarde a merit, but just as the last passage told us that there are some near qualified candidates from NON EU countries, they are equally good as Legarge, but they did't own the same chances as Lagarde because they were not in G8. Therefore, the ppsition, in my opinion, will again in the hand of EU, whether Lagarde or others. How the people elsewhere can play a real role in the game. We still have to wait, the time is not now, but in the near future~~

Christine Madeleine Odette Lagarde (born 1 January 1956) is the current Minister of Economic Affairs, Finances and Industry of France, appointed by President Nicolas Sarkozy in June 2007. She was previously Minister of Agriculture and Fishing and Minister of Trade in the government of Dominique de Villepin. Lagarde is the first woman ever to become minister of Economic Affairs of a G8 economy.
A noted antitrust and labour lawyer, Lagarde made history as the first female chair of the international law firm Baker & McKenzie. On 16 November 2009, The Financial Times ranked her the best minister of Finance of the Eurozone. In 2009, Lagarde was ranked the 17th most powerful woman in the world by Forbes magazine.
On 25 May 2011 Lagarde officially announced her candidacy as head of International Monetary Fund (IMF) to replace Dominique Strauss-Kahn upon his resignation.

As France's Trade Minister between 2005 and May 2007, Lagarde prioritized opening new markets for the country's products, focusing on the technology sector. On 18 May 2007, she was moved to the Ministry of Agriculture as part of the government of Fran?ois Fillon.The following month she joined Fran?ois Fillon's cabinet in the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry and Employment to become the first woman to ever be in charge of economic policy in France.
In May 2011, despite not having a background in economics, Lagarde was mentioned as a possible successor of Dominique Strauss-Kahn as managing director of the International Monetary Fund. Her candidacy received the support of the British and German governments and of other European leaders.
Lagarde is currently under investigation for settling with Bernard Tapie out of court and authorizing very large payments in his suit with the Crédit Lyonnais, which was publicly owned.

The developping countries has represented an bigger share of lending . As you don't want the biggest borrowers in charge , why do you want european to be in charge ?

Staggeringly, some Europeans have tried to argue that only one of their own can understand their continent’s complex politics
这句话有些片面却也还有一些道理。确实，作为新的IMF总裁，应该是深谙欧元区的复杂的经济状况的经济学家，有着处理经济危机和国际经济的经验，熟悉欧元区的经济运作，了解欧元区经济的软肋，面对欧元区的债务危机有着良好的解决态度的对策
Ms Lagarde has many strengths. She has been a steady and successful finance minister
拉加德女士也是一位很好的候选人，，她建议每个人“挽起袖子开始工作”克服法国经济危机而赢得了绰号“美国人“，她在美国担任律师多年，说一口流利的英语。她在应对国际金融危机中措施及时得当，有着良好的外交能力和娴熟的谈判技巧。
个人认为新兴经济体推举的候选人都太过于分散，因此造成竞争力不强，如果能像欧元区这样推举出一位德高望重的人出任IMF总裁，会有很大希望

Some Europeans have tried to argue that only one of their own can understand their continent’s complex politics. Therefore, they want a European as the IMF’s leader. Ironic, isn’t it? Monopoly is not efficient. More new emerging countries want their voices heard. Yes, international posts should be filled according to merit. Whoever has the ability should take it.

it's a time for emerging countries to end Europe’s monopoly of the IMF’s leadership . but Europe has held over a third of the votes on the IMF’s board . and America who hold the most rights to speak has not a competitive candidate to contend with Christine Lagarde . they want to keep the control of Word Bank and IFM,for consideration of interests . they probably support France’s finance minister, Christine Lagarde. according to these factors , emerging countries should be united to recommend a perfect candidate to compete with Lagarde .

是时候结束了，但是能结束吗？
国际上很多组织机构，涉及权利利益交易是很普遍的现象。美国把IMF总裁交给欧洲，自己把持这世界银行的主席地位。这样国际两大金融机构都由发达国家控制。这符合双方的利益，更何况人家已经拥有过半数的份额。
新兴经济体要打破欧美的垄断，可惜自身的力量还不够。近几年的经济发展飞速，但是质量方面还差得远。就像我们中国，其实更多的时候是世界工厂而已。还不足以掌控世界经济。更何况新兴经济体内部也不是很团结，欧美只要许诺给他们想到的利益，他们必然会和欧美站在同一条线上。
要想结束对欧美的垄断，需发展自身，增强在国际地位的话语权，这都需要时间的沉淀。到时候自然会打破欧美的垄断的。
只有你真正强大了，才能得到你想要的！
相信我们中国能做到的。

Sure,it is time for a change. A number of countries in Europe have significant financial problems. Candidate from Europe has a conflict of interest issue.
Considering the IMF's history and its organization structure characteristics, understandably, therefore, the IMF voting strength of the U.S. and Europe is not an accident. “That is because European countries, which hold over a third of the votes on the IMF’s board.”

“emerging economies, which have long argued that the fund should have a non-European boss, have so far conspicuously failed to fix on an alternative candidate. ”尽管，新兴市场国家目前作为一个群体迅速崛起于世界市场，但是各国之间在发展模式和理念方面存在很大差异，既是合作伙伴也是竞争对手，各人各扫门前雪的程度更大些，因此，目前虽然呼吁选取以为非欧洲国家的IMF总裁，但没有达成一致意见，选出合适的候选人，因此，其问鼎几率可谓之很小。

But beneath that placid surface the IMF sees a snake pit of threats.

但在风平浪静的表面下，IMF看到了一蛇窝的威胁。

Since IMF board decisions require a super-majority of 85 per cent the US therefore has veto powers.

由于IMF理事会决议需要85%的绝对多数投票，因此，美国享有事实上的否决权。

We all know clearly that we should end Europe's monopoly of the IMF's leadership, but we emerging economics have so far conspicuously failed to fix on an alternative candidate , that's the key point…
We Chinese dont quite like Indian, Singapore's finance minister and Mexico's minister maybe stand with America, candidates from Brazil and Israel are not as compromised as Ms Lagarde…
I wonder why there is no candidate from China?
