IMF chief Lagarde calls China's economy 'difficult, manageable'

Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, defended her positive view of China's economy, as global economic and financial leaders gathered in Washington this week to convene the World Bank-IMF spring meeting.

"It's normal that (China's) growth rate is a little bit lower than it was a few years back, perfectly legitimate, difficult but manageable," Lagarde said during an interview with Stephen Sackur, host of BBC's HARD-talk, at George Washington University on Thursday.

"The Chinese economy is going through a massive transformation," she said. "It's moving from being vastly export driven to being much more focused on the domestic market, it's moving from heavy-industry based to light industry and predominantly service driven, and it is clearly moving in terms of opening to the rest of the world."

Lagarde's comments came in response to Sackur's suggestion that "the world is losing its faith in China".

Lagarde conveyed a similarly positive message during an earlier news conference at IMF headquarters on Thursday morning.

"We've reset China's economic growth rate to 6.5 percent, taking into account the measures that have been announced by the Chinese authority in its latest five-year plan," said Lagarde.

IMF's signature document, World Economic Outlook, released on Tuesday, raised China's projected 2016 growth rate from 6.3.

The outlook stated that growth in China was slightly stronger than previously forecast, reflecting resilient domestic demand, and that robust growth in the services sector offset recent weakness in manufacturing activity.

It concluded that "China's transition toward more sustainable growth, backed by ample policy buffers, is a welcome development."

Another key IMF document, Global Financial Stability Report, released on Wednesday, said that "China's financial integration with the rest of world is expected to accelerate, and its financial influence abroad will likely catch up with its economic prowess."

Lagarde seems satisfied that China has followed some of the IMF's advice.

"Some of the structural reforms that we have been advocating are clearly endorsed by the Chinese authority now," said Lagarde, who has been re-elected to a second five-year term as managing director of the IMF.

Lagarde praised China's determination to play an increasingly important role in international organizations like the IMF.

"In the next five years, I am convinced that China will play an important role because it wants to be a player in these institutions and it wants to cooperate in the international domains, playing by the rules and belonging to the club," said Lagarde, calling China "a serious and solid partner".
