　　新华社华盛顿7月24日电（记者江宇娟　）国际货币基金组织（IMF）总裁拉加德24日表 示，按照当前 的经济发展趋势，如果IMF继续推进治理结构改革，IMF有可能在未来10年内将总部从华盛顿 迁到北京。

　　拉加德当天在华盛顿智库全球发展中心参加活动时表示，为确保IMF未来10年继续在全球事 务中发挥作用 ，各成员应在IMF治理结构中获得更好的代表。如果当前的经济增长趋势得以延续，到2027年 ，现在部分未 能得到充分代表的大型新兴经济体将在IMF治理结构中得到更好的体现。

　　拉加德说，IMF总部未来设在北京的可能性是存在的，因为IMF章程规定总部应设在份额最 大的成员经济 体。

　　为了更好体现IMF成员在全球经济中相对权重的变化，IMF董事会2010年通过份额和治 理改革方案。 根据方案，IMF的份额将增加一倍，约有6%的份额将向有活力的新兴市场和代表性不足的发展中 国家转移。其 中，中国份额占比将从3.996%升至6.394%，排名从第六位跃居第三位。

　　由于未获得美国国会批准，原定于2012年落实的方案一拖再拖。直到2015年底美国国会 批准后，这一 方案才开始生效实施。

　　IMF去年表示，将启动新一轮份额总检查，并争取在2019年完成。新一轮份额总检查的内 容将包括份额 数量、份额构成和计算公式，尤其是份额公式改革将关系到IMF能否将更多话语权向新兴经济体转 移。(新华社 客户端)

IMF could be based in Beijing in a decade-Lagarde
23 Hours AgoReuters

WASHINGTON, July 24 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund could be based in Beijing in a decade if growth trends for China and other big emerging markets continue and these are reflected in the Fund's voting structure, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said on Monday.

Lagarde said at a Center for Global Development event in Washington that such a move was "a possibility" because the Fund will need to increase the representation of major emerging markets as their economies grow larger and more influential.

"Which might very well mean, that if we have this conversation in 10 years' time...we might not be sitting in Washington, D.C. We'll do it in our Beijing head office," Lagarde said.

She added that the IMF's bylaws call for the institution's head office to be located in the largest member economy.

Since the IMF was launched in 1945, that has always been the United States, which currently has an effective veto over IMF decisions with a 16.5 percent share of its board votes.

But economists estimate that China, with growth rates forecast above 6 percent, will likely overtake U.S. gross domestic product sometime over the next decade to become the world's largest economy in nominal terms. Some, including the IMF, have argued that China already contributes more to global growth on a purchasing power parity basis, which adjusts for differences in prices.

The IMF last revised its quota system, or voting structure in 2010, but is set to launch another review next year. (Reporting by David Lawder; Editing by David Gregorio)
