IMF chief backs Athens as permanent Olympic host
International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde has backed the idea of returning the Olympic Games to a permanent home in Greece.
Asked during a forum at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado earlier this week, the IMF chief said: “I believe it is a good idea that is out of the box.”
“If this could generate demand, something the economy needs, that would be excellent,” Lagarde said.
