The International Monetary Fund’s managing director, Kristalina Georgieva, will leave for Asia on Wednesday for a tour that will take her to China, Indonesia and India.
China will be the first stop, where she will meet with some of the country’s top leaders, before departing on Sept. 3, a spokesperson for the bank said Monday night.
Then it’s on to Indonesia, where Georgieva will take part in the leaders’ summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Jakarta, according to the IMF spokesperson.Earlier: IMF Chief Sees Monetary Policy Divergence After Inflation Fight Her Asia tour comes after the IMF last month raised its outlook for the world economy this year, partly on expectations for a soft landing in the US — seeing global gross domestic product growing 3%. The bank warned, however, of lingering risks from higher interest rates and Russia’s war in Ukraine.
In an interview with Bloomberg Television last Friday, Georgieva said she expected global monetary policies to diverge after most major central bankers have spent the last year tightening credit conditions to slow price gains.

Chip stocks: Why Secretary Raimondo’s China visit mattersU.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo visited China this week in a bid to ease some of the tensions between the United States and China. Axios Global Tech Correspondent Ryan Heath joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss what this means for chipmakers and for the future of U.S. and China relations. Investors and chipmakers should be “mildly encouraged” about communication between the United States and China, Heath says. “The more transparency, the more dialogue, the better for you as a chipmaker,” Heath explains. “U.S. exports to China are still basically at record levels and that also includes for some forms of chips” and the “broad environment is still reasonable encouraging,” Heath notes. Heath says Raimondo 'is extremely well regarded by the White House' and 'is treated as a serious player by the people she is talking to in Beijing, you know, that’s exactly the right person that you want there having these discussions. It doesn’t guarantee any outcomes in the future, but it gives you a solid basis for having a more functional relationship.”
