IMF chief, Christine Lagarde, visits Mexico


Via Google News:
The head of the International Monetary Fund arrived in Mexico on Tuesday, where she will meet the president and central bank chief, on a Latin America tour overshadowed by the European debt crisis. IMF chief Christine Lagarde said in a blog post ahead of the trip that Mexico was "in a unique position to shape our collective economic destiny over the coming year" as it takes over leadership of the Group of 20 most powerful economies in 2012. Lagarde was scheduled for private talks with central bank chief Agustin Carstens Tuesday, before meeting with President Felipe Calderon and Finance Minister Jose Antonio Meade and giving a news conference Wednesday.

Profile: Agustin Carstens/Christine Lagarde



Lately I've been posting news on the race between Carstens and Lagarde to be the next managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). As the BBC puts it, the two candidates competing to be the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), "could not be more different in their appearance" but...what about on paper?

Sometimes I've thought, how do we really know who would be a better pick for the position? Well, I found these BBC articles that review both of the candidates' careers and give us a good look at their credentials.
