Letter By IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde To The President Of The Euro Group On Greece

Date 24/02/2015

In view of this, we would certainly be able to support the conclusion that the list “is sufficiently comprehensive to be a valid starting point for a successful conclusion of the review,” as called for by the Euro Group at its last meeting. But a determination in this regard should of course rest primarily on an assessment by Member States themselves and by the relevant European institutions.

Thank you for the invitation to address you today – it is a pleasure to be here.

Much of the agenda for your conference is strikingly optimistic: developments in renminbi markets; the changing shape of fixed income trading; the new landscape for foreign exchange; the EU Capital Markets Union; and innovative ways to use ‘big data’ and other analytical techniques. It is good to see the wholesale markets looking forward, seeking out new opportunities, and facing the realities of regulatory and technological change with a sense of purpose and resolve. That dynamism is essential to the prosperity of everyone, and central to financing the global recovery.
