BERLIN, April 28 (Reuters) - IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said on Wednesday he doesn't see a W-shape -- or double-dip -- recession but warned the economic crisis is not yet over.

Speaking at a news conference in Berlin with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the International Monetary Fund chief said: "The crisis isn't completely over."

Strauss-Kahn was speaking after meeting Merkel and the chiefs of the World Trade Organisation, the World Bank, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and the International Labour Organisation.
