(108,903 posts)21. IMF's Lagarde urges caution over withdrawing stimulus
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23821664
The head of the International Monetary Fund has warned central banks not to end their stimulus measures too soon.
Christine Lagarde said stimulus policies were still needed in some regions, especially Europe and Japan.
With signs that the global economy is improving, there has been much debate about when supportive policies should be wound down.
But, in a speech in the US, Ms Lagarde said she did not suggest a "rush to the exit" as some economies remain fragile.
