Rome — The fall of the Latvian government will not significantly change the International Monetary Fund’s program in the Baltic country, IMF Managing-Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said at a news conference on Saturday.

‘We have a program in Latvia, our team is in Latvia working,’ Strauss-Kahn said. ‘The political side is not so much our concern. We are interested in what happened in Latvia but it doesn’t change much the program we need to implement.’
