Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos will head to Washington on Sunday for talks with International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Christine Lagarde and U.S. government officials, Greek media reported quoting his ministry as saying on Wednesday. On Tuesday the IMF warned that Europe’s debt crisis could have a major global impact if it is not tackled quickly, urging euro zone leaders to boost the region’s rescue fund and recapitalize its banks. Leaders of the 17-nation currency bloc will gather in Brussels on Thursday in a bid to draw a line under Greece’s spiraling debt crisis. The ministry said Venizelos would meet with Lagarde on Monday.
