We count a lot on India's G-20 leadership: IMF MD

Washington: At a time when the world is faced with continued economic slowdown and social distress, the international community counts a lot on India's leadership of G-20, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund said Thursday.

"India, which is the president of G-20 countries, remains among the countries that perform better than global



average and by a good percentage," IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva told reporters during a media roundtable.

India formally assumed the G20 (Group of 20) Presidency on December 1. The next G20 Leaders' Summit at the level of Heads of State/Government is scheduled to be held on September 9 and 10 in New Delhi.
