Lagarde seeks to minimize the differences with Germany on adjustments
IMF director says that the pace of adjustment is country
The ECB disagrees with the Fund estimates about the effect of cuts
Miguel Jimenez (Special Envoy) Tokyo 13 Oct 2012 - 15:39 CET
The IMF managing director, Christine Lagarde, yesterday tried to cool the differences that have arisen in the assembly of the Fund in connection with the pace of fiscal adjustment. The IMF has published a study showing that cuts hurt the economy more than previously thought and Lagarde, based on that, he said that "sometimes it is better a little more time" to make adjustments to what German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble replied immediately.
Yesterday, taking stock of the assembly of the Fund, Christine Lagarde said that "in reality, what has sometimes been presented as the disagreement is more a perception than a reality." He continued: "What is meant by fiscal adjustment? Well, we all recognize the need for a credible fiscal adjustment over the medium term in all advanced economies."

"The pace and type of action, obviously, must be calibrated on a country by country basis. A fiscal adjustment program over a period of time can not be equal for all. Has to be adjusted to the parameters each country, depending on its growth rate, market pressure and depends on the weight of debt and, therefore, must be carefully adapted to each country, "said the managing director of the International Monetary Fund.
Lagarde said that eventually there was full agreement on the matter. However, the debate continues. And some have begun to question the validity of the study of the IMF's chief economist, Olivier Blanchard, which gave rise to the controversy. The ECB is of those who believe that their methodology is questionable, the adjustments attributable solely to the deviation of the reality on the initial growth forecasts made by economists.
Differences on deleveraging
The ECB also disagrees with the content of another star of the reports of the Fund, the Global Financial Stability. In particular, they disagree on the pace of reduction desapalacamiento or bank credit is being and will be as sharp as the department of Spanish José Viñals portrays him. "At the end of last year there was a great danger that it would produce deleveraging disorderly, with very negative consequences for growth," he said. "Now, in October this year, I think, really, thanks to the two LTRO (liquidity injections to three years) that occurred, we can say that this process has not been desordenad. Was actually a process of deleveraging ordained, "he added.
The ECB and the IMF, in any case, seem doomed to be understood, as their differences. Several directors of the central bank in Tokyo have made clear they want the IMF to participate actively to establish compliance and monitor compliance in those countries requesting support for the European bailout fund for the ECB to buy debt in the secondary markets.
Message of Optimism
ECB President, in any case, would launch in Tokyo yesterday a message of confidence and said detected "signs of cautious optimism." "In the last three months, financial markets appear to be less volatile. This is probably due not only to the new measures announced by the Council of the European Central Bank and WTO [the bond-buying program], but also because the progress at national level, at European level, are being recognized. " He also said that "the recovery process is ongoing competitiveness and improving the competitiveness of these countries' problems.
