The IMF have lost all credibility. They connived with the EU to fudge a Greek default/restructuring. Instead of insisting that Greece be allowed to leave the euro zone, devalue, and re-structure they did a dirty political deal which is crap for the Greek people, but saves face for european politicial elites.
This implies that the IMF had credibility before? :)
Shouldn’t Lipsky’s mustache be sopping up oil in the Gulf right now?
Good idea! He needs to wax it so that he looks like one of those Simon Legree type characters, who tie women to the railway tracks. Very symbolic of what the IMF does with countries it “looks after”.
