IMF's Lagarde says Greece should not delay payments

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said a Greek delay on its repayments to the Fund would not be recommended in the current situation.

"We have never had an advanced economy asking for payment delays," she said in response to reporters' questions on Greece, which is struggling with a tight liquidity situation while it negotiates with its foreign creditors.
