Interesting comment from Lagarde:

IMF’s Lagarde, when asked about likelihood of Greek deal next week says, “It’s not over until the fat lady sings”

– OK, so tensions between the EuroGroup and IMF are still present, then. Wont prevent a deal though.

She followed up some more, much more innocuous:

  • IMF’s Lagarde says important for European policymakers to implement policy commitments to help lift economy in Euro zone next year
  • Lagarde says important for Euro Group meeting on Greece to focus on putting country’s economy on sustainable path

No comments from her re motherhood and apple pie, though we can probably guess her views on these.
