The IMF’s Managing Director chairs the IMF’s Executive Board and heads the IMF staff. The Managing Director is appointed by the Executive Board for a renewable five-year term. When selecting a Managing Director, the IMF’s Governors and Executive Directors may nominate individuals from any IMF member country. Although the Executive Board may select a Managing Director by a majority of votes cast, in recent years, it has made appointments by consensus. A First Deputy Managing Director and three Deputy Managing Directors assist the Managing Director.
