Oh no! Don’t give your citizens material aid from the local coffers their tax dollars go into. Take out a loan from us instead. Otherwise, we won’t be able to leverage usury in emerging markets to extract wealth by bribing local officials!
I read the first two sentences of the articles you posted, which is more effort than you put in.
I’m well aware of the various bad things the IMF has done. But bringing up evidence of that anytime the IMF appears in a headline is just distracting and irrelevant. The issue at hand here is whether subsidies are an effective or harmful response and you fixating on who is talking about the issue (and mischaracterizing what they’re saying, at that) is not helpful.
