2月3日，国际货币基金组织总裁克里斯塔利娜·格奥尔基耶娃表示，对中国新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎疫情表示诚挚慰问。国际货币基金组织支持近来中国政府为应对疫情在财政、货币、金融等领域采取的措施。 格奥尔基耶娃表示，“中国经济继续展现出极强的韧性，我们对此充满信心。” The International Monetary Fund Chief Kristalina Georgieva sent a message of support to the Chinese people from the IMF headquarters in Washington, DC, Monday. Georgieva also showed support for China's economy in light of the recent coronavirus emergency. "We support China's efforts to respond, by taking measures with all the strength of its health system, but also by the recent fiscal, monetary, and financial actions. We are confident in the resilience of China's economy." She also sent her condolences for the people affected by the epidemic. "On behalf of all the membership of the IMF, all staff and management, I would like to express our deep sympathies to all those affected by the serious situation related to coronavirus," Georgieva said.
The art reads: Spring has come back to the Earth. Georgieva was also presented with a unique gift, a Chinese painting, from IMF Executive Director for China Jin Zhongxia, to express gratitude for her support.
