Financial Crisis Requires Continued Action
Christine Lagarde, France's Minister for the Economy |October 9, 2009
Although there is lots of talk of green shoots, the recession is not over and the crisis demands that we finish what we started. ++ Stimulus packages are helping to stabilise our economies, but we are still in danger. ++ "Premature removal of the crutches we gave our sick economies could destroy the green shots, destroy investor's confidence and throw us back into a more severe crisis." ++ We must not use the current crisis as an excuse for temporarily putting the poorest nations' problems on the shelf.
