2. SOUNDBITE: (English) Christine Lagarde, Managing Director, IMF:
“As I said in the statement earlier today, the British people have spoken and their decision is to be respected. There will be sometime until we know the nature of future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union. In the meantime, it will be important that there will be clarity on the negotiation process, and that it be carried in as a smooth manner as possible. I welcome the measures announced today by the Bank of England and the European Central Bank to support the banking system as needed and to guard against excess volatility and provide what is necessary. The IMF for its part will continue to monitor developments closely and we will work with our members to make sure the resilience and stability of the global economy in the period ahead.”
