IMF chief Christine Lagarde said that the global crisis lender needs to pay more attention to people hurt by quick-moving globalization, even as it plays the role of the world's economic "bad cop".
"Globalization has done a lot of good and has lifted many people out of poverty, but equally it has produced some losers, people whose job has been lost to a cheaper supply chain," Lagarde told AFP in an exclusive interview.
"The losers have to be helped and the IMF will continue to pay more attention to issues like excessive inequalities, women's empowerment, climate change, and corruption."
