How hawkish really is the IMF on Greece?

Dirty games or error? German FAZ misinterprets IMF Lagarde’s statement on “Grexit” was one of the many articles on the polemic interview:

F.A.Z. wrote a nice title on its interview with Lagarde and spread the news.

“Schuldenkrise Lagarde hält Grexit für möglich“

“Debt Crisis: Lagarde considers Grexit as possible”

But Christine Lagarde had not said that. She had said instead:

“Niemand wünscht den Europäern einen Grexit”

“No one wishes a Grexit to Europeans”

I suppose the IMF and/or Lagarde complained to the F.A.Z. which a few hours later changed its title to:

“Schuldenkrise Lagarde schließt Grexit nicht aus”

“Debt crisis: Lagarde does not preclude Grexit”
