- 8 years ago
The International Monetary Fund is urging the world’s richest countries to get their act together and quickly to stop the global economy from stalling.
For newly re-elected IMF head Christine Lagarde preventing a global growth crisis is a top priority.
The call for bold action to avoid a “derailed recovery” comes as senior officials from the Group of 20 biggest economies prepare to meet in Shanghai this week.

Senior IMF staff made the call amid falling equity markets, volatile currencies and signs of economic weakness throughout the world.
