The French Finance Ministry made it known today that the European Union governments, which had deadlines by the end of July to select a candidate at the IMF helm, have not yet agreed on a name to succeed Christine Lagarde.
At this stage, although some candidates have provided more support than others, there is still no full consensus on a concrete name, said the Ministry Community.
Five candidates are in the race, two of the South States, Spanish Finance Minister Nadia Calvino and her Portuguese counterpart, Mario Centeno, also president of the Eurogroup, two others for the northern part, Dutch Jeroen Diysselloem, and governor of the Bank of Finland, Olli Rehn, as well as a candidate of Eastern states, Bulgarian Kristalina Georgieva, currently number two of the World Bank. /Attish
