LONDON (Reuters) - Ksenia Yudaeva, under sanctions from the United States, is listed as the International Monetary Fund's executive director for Russia and Syria, according to the Fund's website.
The executive board is the Fund's top day-to-day business decision-making body. Executive directors are elected by member countries or by groups of countries.
The outgoing Russian executive director announced in September that Yudaeva, former adviser to Bank of Russia Governor Elvira Nabiullina, would become Russia's new representative.
The IMF did not immediately comment. A U.S. Treasury spokesperson declined to comment on sanctions related to Yudaeva and whether she would be able to serve as the IMF executive director for Russia and Syria.
