Regulation is necessary, particularly in a sector, like the banking sector, which exposes countries and people to a risk.

The financial industry is a service industry. It should serve others before it serves itself.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

Every day, you have to prove yourself and convince - move forward and challenge yourself. And doubt all the time.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

I have a theory that women ar...

I have a theory that women are generally given space and appointed to jobs when the situation is tough. I've observed that in many instances. In times of crisis, women eventually are called upon to sort out the mess, face the difficult issues and be completely focused on restoring the situation.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

Very often as a little girl, ...

Very often as a little girl, then as a young woman, I have suffered my lot of discrimination. I was brought up with brothers; I grew up in a boys' world. You have to elbow your way in. When you come with that sentiment of having been in a minority for a long period of time, then you are much more attentive to minorities.

When my father passed away and then when later on I gave birth, those are sort of ground-breaking experiences that put everything else into perspective.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

It's become my brand in a way...

It's become my brand in a way, you know, speaking the truth even though it was not politically correct.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

If female were working in the...

If female were working in the same proportion as men do, the level of GDP would be up 27 percent in a country like India, but also up 9 percent in Japan and up 5 percent in the United States of America. It's not just a moral issue, not just a philosophical issue. It just makes economic sense.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

I'm very much a believer that...

I'm very much a believer that it's action that matters much more so than, you know, the flurry of political promises and statements and slogans that are used during political campaigns.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

I think more of the little ki...

I think more of the little kids from a school in a little village in Niger who get teaching two hours a day, sharing one chair for three of them, and who are very keen to get an education. I have them in my mind all the time. Because I think they need even more help than the people in Athens.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

It's a question of not so much pushing the boys out of the picture, but making the whole frame bigger so that both men and women access the labor market, contribute to the economy, generate growth, have jobs, and so on.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

I learned that you can constantly improve, and that you should not be shy about your views, and about the direction that you believe is right.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

I do believe women have diffe...

I do believe women have different ways of taking risks, of ruminating a bit more before they jump to conclusions. And I think that as a result, particularly on the, on, you know, on the trading floor, in the financial markets in general, the approach would be different.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

My father passed away after t...

My father passed away after three years of debilitating disease, which transformed a very strong and bright man into a real wreck. And that is hard. You have to get out of that stronger, if you can, which I was lucky to be able to. I was the eldest of the family, and I had to support my mother and help my brothers.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

I know this is economic jargo...

I know this is economic jargon, but essentially, if you bring more women to the job market, you create value, it makes economic sense, and growth is improved. There are countries where it's almost a no-brainer: Korea, Japan, soon to be China, certainly Germany, Italy. Why? Because they have an aging population.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

I'm proud that somebody like ...

I'm proud that somebody like myself has made it to the very top.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

I'm of those who believe that...

I'm of those who believe that excesses in all matters are not a good idea, whether it's formation of bubbles, whether it's excess in the financial market, whether it's excess of inequality, it has to be watched, it has to be measured, and it has to be anticipated in terms of consequences.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

You are never wrong when you ...

You are never wrong when you have voted because you've acted in accordance with your conscience and your beliefs, and you've exercised your democratic right, which is, you know, perfectly legitimate in our democracies.

Christine Lagarde 51 quotes

There is a very strong linkage between U.S. banks and European banks. There are plenty of European employees that are employed by U.S. companies, and there are plenty of U.S. employees that are employed by European companies.

As far as Athens is concerned, I also think about all those people who are trying to escape tax all the time. All these people in Greece who are trying to escape tax.
