Xinhua news agency, Washington, December 2 (reporter Gao Pan and Xiong Maoling) - the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently announced that Jeffrey Gambon, the first vice president of the IMF, will leave office early next year, and gopinat, the chief economist of the IMF, will replace Gambon as the first vice president.
Georgi Ieva, President of IMF, said that COVID-19's unique expertise and years of experience as chief economist of IMF have made it the one and only candidate for IMF's first vice president, considering that COVID-19 has led to more severe economic challenges for IMF members.
Georgieva said that at present, the IMF is adjusting the responsibilities and division of labor of the senior management team. In the future, the first vice president will be responsible for policy supervision, IMF research and flagship publications.
The IMF said that gopinat will officially take over as the first vice president from January 21 next year.
Gopi Nat issued a statement saying that as COVID-19 continued to ferment, IMF's work and international cooperation were never as important as it is now. She looks forward to continuing to work closely with IMF colleagues.
According to US media reports, gopinat's appointment was unexpected. In October this year, gopinat planned to return to Harvard University in January next year to continue teaching.
Gopinat was born in India and has American and Indian nationality. She obtained tenure at Harvard University in 2010 and has made great achievements in research fields such as exchange rate, trade and investment, monetary policy, emerging market crisis and so on. In January 2019, gopinat officially became chief economist of IMF. (end)
