相比之下,新兴经济体国家一直认为基金组织总裁应该由欧洲以外的人担任,但至今他们也没确定一位适合的候选人。在这场竞争中有决定权的美国人,在公开场合虽未说什么,但私下却似乎愿意拉加德当选。重要的是,他们希望将IMF副手和世界银行的总裁职位都由美国人担任。除了局面尴尬,竞争结局很可能是两名法国政客间的接替。
Ms Lagarde has many strengths. She has been asteady and successful finance minister, no mean featwith a boss as mercurial as Nicolas Sarkozy. Alawyer by profession, she lacks the technicalbackground that the IMFs best bosses have had,but she is a superb communicator, a good negotiatorand, by all accounts, an excellent manager. Given thecircumstances of Mr Strauss-Kahns departure, thefact that she is a woman is a bonus. It is not hardto see why even Western finance ministers with a lowopinion of Mr Sarkozy have rushed to anoint her.
拉加德女士有许多优势。她行事风格稳健,是位成功的财长,并且与善变的萨科齐相处融洽。出身律师的她虽然缺乏IMF顶级总裁应该具备技术背景,但是她是口才精湛的交际官,出色的谈判家,据说还是优秀的经理人。鉴于卡恩离职的背景原因,女性的身份也让拉加德有所加分。不难看出为什么西方国家的财长们尽管都对萨科齐颇有微辞,但却都愿意指定她担任IMF总裁。
