WASHINGTON, May 31 (Reuters) – The head of the International

Monetary Fund said on Thursday she held “very productive” talks

with Spain’s Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria

and had not received a request from the Spanish authorities for

IMF financial support.

In a statement after the talks, IMF Managing Director

Christine Lagarde denied a news report that said the IMF was

preparing financial assistance to Spain.

“There is no such plan. We have not received any request to

that effect and we are not doing any work in relation to any

financial support,” she said.
