"Jianhai has had a wide-ranging fund career in both country and policy work," said the fund's Managing Director Christine Lagarde in a statement. "This breadth of experience has been of particular benefit to the IMF, where Jianhai's skill in building consensus among staff, management and our global membership has been essential for the productive work of the Executive Board during one of the most challenging periods in the fund's history."

He was born in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, and studied at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing and at the University of California, Berkeley. He holds a doctorate in international finance from George Washington University.
Lin has been acting director of the IMF's Secretary's Department since November of last year.
