PARIS (Reuters) - French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde Monday welcomed the assassination of the leader of al-Qaeda Osama bin Laden and said his death could strengthen consumer confidence and economic growth of the United States.
"The American economy is like the American people." It reacts very quickly either positive or negative, "Lagarde told television France 2." "I would not be surprised if this event invited a pickup in confidence."
New that an operation conducted by the United States had killed bin Laden in a shooting incident in Pakistan has caused the dollar to rebound Monday from a minimum of three years, and Lagarde said his killing would give a lift to us stocks and other financial securities.
The death of the terrorist leader who orchestrated the murderers of the 11 September attacks on New York and Washington would help heal a wound which had been open for almost a decade, she said.
Bin Laden has been the subject of a search since he escaped us and Afghan militia forces soldiers in an assault on a large scale on the mountains of Tora Bora, the Afghanistan in 2011.
