MADRID - Spain’s Economy Minister Nadia Calvino is no longer a candidate for the top job at the International Monetary Fund, a government spokeswoman said on Friday, citing the need to find a common European Union candidate as the reason behind the withdrawal. “We announce that the government aims to reach a European agreement, without Economy Minister Nadia Calvino participating in the next phase,” the spokeswoman said in a short statement.
European Union governments will try on Friday to choose the bloc’s candidate to lead the International Monetary Fund from a list of four names, a spokeswoman for the French finance ministry said, but divisions could delay a compromise solution.
