Regulation is necessary, particularly in a sector, like the banking sector, which exposes countries and people to a risk.
Interpretation
Regulation is crucial for managing risks in the banking sector to protect both nations and individuals.
Christine Lagarde emphasizes the importance of regulation in the banking sector, highlighting that the financial system poses risks to both countries and individuals. Proper oversight and rules are essential to ensure stability, protect consumers, and prevent financial crises that could have far-reaching consequences.
In practice
In a speech on financial reform, I might say, 'As Christine Lagarde wisely pointed out, regulation is necessary in the banking sector to mitigate risks.'
In the 2013 Economists Program, we hired 51 percent women, 49 percent men. And the reason for that is that we have a draft from all over the world, and we've hired, for instance, in that group, a good number of Chinese economists - highly qualified, all Ph.D.s from the best universities of the world. And guess what? They're all women.

Very often as a little girl, then as a young woman, I have suffered my lot of discrimination. I was brought up with brothers; I grew up in a boys' world. You have to elbow your way in.

A good government implies two things; first, fidelity to the objects of the government; secondly, a knowledge of the means, by which those objects can be best attained.
Well I do think, when there are more women, that the tone of the conversation changes, and also the goals of the conversation change. But it doesn't mean that the whole world would be a lot better if it were totally run by women. If you think that, you've forgotten high school.
