Lagarde to remain as IMF leader

Christine Lagarde has been one of the few global officials who have been right over the past few years. The IMF has consistently been better at forecasting growth in developed nations than the governments and central bankers employed to do the job.

She has urged governments to spend and invest in infrastructure and attempted to play a constructive role in tough Eurozone negotiations.

If she get skin cancer from spending too much time in the tanning salon, she will do a great job in what looks to be another challenging term.
