"The IMF's position should be in good faith and without added requirements," Macron said at the start of a two-day official visit to Greece.
Greece's third rescue programme, currently financially supported by EU states alone, runs to August 2018.
The IMF has said it will only contribute funds to the programme if EU creditors take further steps to lighten Greece's debt load, which has yet to happen over strenuous objections by Germany.
"I don't think that having the IMF supervise European programmes is a good method... The credibility and sovereignty of Europe justified doing things differently," Macron said.
