Washington, June 9

Indian economist Krishna Srinivasan has been appointed as the Director of the Asia and Pacific Department by IMF MD Kristalina Georgieva.

Srinivasan will succeed Changyong Rhee whose retirement from the organisation was announced on March 23.

“Krishna is a highly regarded member of our Fund family and has made many important and innovative contributions to our mission throughout his career at the Fund,” Georgieva said on Wednesday.

Srinivasan is currently a Deputy Director and oversees the department’s surveillance work on a number of large and systemically important countries such as China and Korea, Fiji and Vanuatu.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
