Best Answer

The new IMF head Christine Lagarde had been elected by the IMF board as its new president, because the panel of members deemed her the best qualified person for the job. A successful business lawyer in the biggest American firm, then a finance minister for France, she is praised even by her political opponents for her achievements and qualities.
