The International Monetary Fund has announced that its executive board has recommended removing the age limit for its managing director, a move needed for the EU’s nominee Kristalina Georgieva to be approved for the job.
The 24-member executive board of the IMF recommended that the change be approved by the IMF board of governors, which includes representatives of all 189 member countries.
