Kristalina Georgieva’s alleged sins may look trifling to some. The IMF’s managing director is accused of having manipulated the World Bank’s Doing Business index in 2018, when she was the institution’s CEO, to give China a higher ranking than it merited. Compared to Dominique Strauss-Kahn, one of her predecessors, who in 2011 was accused of sexual assault in New York, or Rodrigo Rato, an earlier occupant, who was jailed for embezzlement, Georgieva’s clerical meddling looks like a victimless misdemeanour. Yet in geopolitical terms, her fate will be of far greater consequence.
在一些人看來，克里斯塔利娜?格奧爾基耶娃(Kristalina Georgieva)所涉嫌的罪過可能微不足道。這位國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)總裁被指控在擔任世界銀行(World Bank)首席執行官期間，操縱該行2018年《營商環境報告》(Doing Business)，人為調高中國的排名。與其前任之一、2011年在紐約被控性侵的多米尼克?斯特勞斯-卡恩(Dominique Strauss-Kahn)或更早的前任、因挪用公款被判監禁的羅德里戈?拉托(Rodrigo Rato)相比，格奧爾基耶娃對文書工作的干預看起來像是一次沒有受害者的不當行為。然而，從地緣政治的角度來看，她的命運將產生重大得多的影響。
