However, here\u2019s Ms. Lagarde of IMF : Lagarde sees Currency Worries, Not \u2018War\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n "There’s been lots of talk of currency wars, and we have not seen any such thing as a currency war. We’ve heard currency worries, not currency wars," said Lagarde. "We’ve not seen confrontation but deliberation, dialogue, discussions and clearly this G-20 meeting has been extremely helpful and productive."<\/p>\n Lagarde’s comments echoed those of the G-20 nations on Saturday, who declared that there would be no currency war. This has taken the heat off Japan, which has been criticized for its expansive policies that have driven down the yen following the election of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n We\u2019re all diplomats for now. Like I said in my prediction, we\u2019ll first take the time to get this wrong to the fullest extent possible before we admit to the possibility that it was a war all along. So far we have no confrontations but deliberation, dialogue and discussions only. But confrontations arise from accusations \u2013 so until we see all sorts of accusations thrown about, it\u2019s quite alright to be in the mode of Supply Chain worries. <\/p>\n Like this kind:<\/p>\n Bank of Korea Governor Kim Choong-soo told the Wall Street Journal on Sunday that he was concerned over the weakening yen’s impact on his country’s economy. The governor stressed the importance of strengthening financial safety nets to give smaller nations the confidence to not have to stockpile currency reserves.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n However, be not alarmed when such protestations erupt from the smaller economies. When you sniff the first wave of accusations between the larger economies, you\u2019d do well to have already taken a long hard look at every and any extended supply chain and start diversifying options \u2013 especially options that have a strong currency component to it.<\/p>\n NOT!!!
