What is your outlook for the year?
I am desperately optimistic ,and we'll continue to be desperately optimistic. I know that we will have tough times to go through. There will be stroms,there will be difficult times,difficult decisions, a sense of we all in it together,we have to get out of it together, and that we need to be reinforced , rehashed regularly,repeated,and I hope that the IMF will contribute to that sense of collective endeavor,that is about the global economy, moving forward, creating jobs,and creating value .
So this is warning the headlines the sort of due the warned of 1930 style global slump, was that misreporting or any changed your tune?
No no no . I haven't changed any of that, but what I said and what I continued to be extremely concerned about them, vigilant about is some of the stigmas that we saw at the time ,you know, the approach consisting of, you know, retiring back to my own needings ,never mind what is happening outside in other countries ,I am going to mind for myself. This sort of hidden horrible protectionism monster showing up in various shape or forms. That is something that I would be very concerned about, and that we should see, you know, being resurrected now.
So is that for you the greatest danger in the next year? Is the resurgence of visualisation of protectionism.
Yep yep absolutely!
