Female leaders are doing a better job handling the coronavirus crisis, European Central Bank chief Christine Lagarde said , praising them for their honest communication and for showing they cared, according to AFP.

The differences in policies and communication were “quite stunning” in countries led by women, she said in an online interview with The Washington Post.

“I am going to be extremely biased. I'm not going to be a central banker at this very moment but I would say that for myself, I've learned that women tend to do a better job,” she said.
