“The appointment and termination of any member of the Executive Board is a decision for member countries to make. The termination of ED Subramanian is a decision by the Government of India. We wish him well in his future endeavours and look forward to working with his successor,” IMF spokesperson said when reached out for comments.

According to sources, concerns were raised over an “alleged impropriety” relating to the promotion and publicity of his latest book, ‘India@100: Envisioning Tomorrow’s Economic Powerhouse’.

The executive board of the IMF is composed of 25 directors (executive directors or EDs) elected by the member countries or groups of countries.
