Govt source: No sign yet of joint BRICS IMF candidate

There has been no sign yet of a joint candidate from the developing countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) to head the International Monetary Fund, a government source told Reuters on Friday.

The official, who declined to be named, said French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde will visit India on June 7, as part of a trip to China and Brazil also to drum support for her candidacy to head the IMF.

India is talking with other emerging countries to build support behind a common candidate from the developing world, with Mexico's central bank chief a possibility, two government sources said last week.
