IMF\\\'s Lagarde confident G-20 will achieve target

Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), is confident that the Group of 20 will achieve their target of boosting global growth by 2 percentage points in time for the November summit in Brisbane, she said. ‘That's the commitment, that's the goal. The fact that the finance ministers have achieved a global commitment of 1.8 [percentage points] of additional growth by the baseline is a strong indication that they will hit the 2 [percentage point] target,’ she said at the G-20 meeting in Cairns, Australia.  ‘I can't see how by being 10 per cent away from the target they would arrive at the Brisbane leaders summit without having reached the 2 [percentage point] target. So I'm confident they will get there,’ she said, according to cnbc.com
