Christine Lagarde, MD of the International Monetary Fund is visiting Japan, said European leaders “have to implement, implement, implement” necessary reforms to reassure financial markets although it takes time. She also told a press conference that the Japanese yen has remained “moderately overvalued.”
The comments came despite the agreement last week by European Union leaders to have the eurozone bailout funds directly inject aid into struggling banks and intervene in bond markets to help lower borrowing costs for some member countries.
“Momentum has been somewhat building among relevant countries to make a stronger push” for creating a road map, Japanese Finance Minister Azumi said, but he added, “It is not that the countries have made significant progress.”
As the euro has resumed falling while borrowing costs remain at unsustainable high levels for such countries as Spain and Italy, despite the EU summit result, Lagarde admitted, “It might not be absolute satisfaction to markets.”
But she also said, “Clearly the Europeans have decided to move ahead to the banking union. They have to implement, implement, implement, and “adding,” The next stage, in our view, will be the fiscal union, which has also supplement the monetary and banking union.”
As for overall global economic outlook, Lagarde indicated the IMF will soon revise downward its growth estimates made in April, though she did not mention any specific numbers.
The IMF acknowledged in June that market interventions can generally be a policy tool to avoid disorderly movements in foreign exchange rates, fueling speculation that Tokyo could continue its operations to ease the negative impact on the earnings of Japanese exporters, despite criticism from the United States and Europe.
