What is IMF and why does it matter?

The International Monetary Fund is expected to paint a gloomy financial outlook when it meets in Washington DC, later.
Inflation concerns, the war in Ukraine, and rising interest rates are impacting economies right around the world.
In the coming hours it will release two key reports, on what's in store for the global economy.

Al Jazeera’s Folly Bah Thibault explains how much power the IMF actually wields.

El Salvadorians are experiencing a sense of prosperity as their economy strengthens, while the U.S. economy continues to falter. It’s a stark lesson in the difference between true progress built on real effort and the illusion of growth sustained by superficial measures.

In other words a loan shark for federal governments.

Does anyone know which study is being cited for the outlooks of loan recipients from 1965-1995?

[arslanlatif]

First they make countries default and make sure they will come to them and they use them for their interest 🤷

[roberttelford]

It's a Neoliberal cage disguised as a Knight in shining armour

POV: u watch this not for news but for ur exam in months👀

[thomasmascari]

Federal governments shouldn't have to face default risk, and the IMF is perpetuating that risk. Governments need help adopting their own stable currencies so they don't have to borrow foreign ones.

Sri Lanka hasn't received the 2.9 billion yet. Still in the process with a big checklist.

Ok i intrested in one thing, where does IMF get its money from

[elderjoe]

Had the privilege of working at the mt Washington hotel years ago, gorgeous resort. Went into the very room where this was held many times.

[aldinis]

IMF stands for International Mafia Federation

[JayValmire]

You would have thought. The borrowers begged for loans and they having to pay it back (maybe..some will default).

[louistan]

Does it really matter? To whose interests and benefits? Its engine hood has been raised. Its internal workings clear for all to see. And not a good sight to see

[junielesparas]

Then there will be companies go bankrupt, where they will get money to paid overseas branch and employees ?

Its almost like infinite growth isnt possible in a finite world😂

Condition of the fiscal tax year of 2017 when the Ukraine, China, and the Russian Federation and sequential fiscal policy tax years are necessary fact finding for monetary policy currency valuations. The mitigation of the International Monetary Fund with any country has recognition of those conditions with domestic concerns of financial institutions controlled by jurisdiction of banking regulations. The Board of Governors and Federal Reserve of the United States know this with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC est. 1933) analytical results for inflation rates and United States monetary policy. Does the declaration of war offer resolution to payments and mitigation conditions between the Peoples Republic of China, and Russian Federation? Does the declaration of war offer currency mitigation with the Ukraine balance of payments while receiving SDR credit evaluation from the International Monetary Fund?
