IMF-ECONOMY-GROWTH-POVERTY-INCOME-FILES
(FILES)International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde speaks at a press conference after the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) meeting at the 2013 World Bank/IMF Spring meetings in Washington in this April 20, 2013 file photo. Lagarde on May 15, 2013 decried rising income disparity, noting its harmful effect on global economic growth. Lagarde, in a speech on poverty reduction in Washington, said the top 0.5 percent of the global population holds over 35 percent of the wealth."This has not gone unnoticed: the Arab Spring and 'Occupy movement,' though very different, were motivated in part by discontent with these trends," the IMF managing director said, according to the prepared text. In the United States, where the Occupy Wall Street movement began in 2011, the richest 1.0 percent of the population holds 18 percent of all pre-tax income, compared with a share of 8.0 percent 25 years ago, she said.
