Christine Lagarde
Regulation is necessary, particularly in a sector, like the banking sector, which exposes countries and people to a risk.

Christine Lagarde
It so happens that because all the economies are strongly inter-connected and aggregated, there is trade that is happening not just from China to the rest of the world, but from the rest of the world to China as well, and that is going to continue.
Christine Lagarde
We need to put our good research, our good work, our principles into actionable items whenever we can.
Christine Lagarde
In the area of trading, it is now an academically demonstrated fact that women tend to be a little bit more risk-adverse. They don't move positions as quickly and as erratically as men. Maybe it is a bit less profitably, but I think it would have been less risky.
Christine Lagarde
I look under the skin of countries' economies, and I help them make better decisions and be stronger, to prosper and create employment.
