US will block IMF allocation of funds to Iran to fight against coronavirus

The United States intends to block $ 5 billion in aid to Iran by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to fight the new coronavirus. This was reported by the Wall Street Journal, citing sources in the White House administration.

According to the American authorities, Iran has sufficient funds to organize the fight against coronavirus, and the funds allocated by the IMF will not go to treat infected people, but to purchase new weapons and finance Iranian allies in the Middle East.



At the same time, the White House claims that Iran has billions of dollars stored in the National Development Fund of the country, which is formed from the proceeds from the sale of oil and gas. To organize the fight against coronavirus, Tehran needs to redirect funds from this fund from the purchase of weapons and military operations to medicine.

The American publication notes that the United States, being the largest shareholder of the International Monetary Fund, largely determines to whom to allocate funds and to whom not. However, other members have the right to vote, and if they do not agree with the US decision to block the allocation of funds to Iran, they can vote against this decision, then the fate of the "Iranian" tranche of the IMF will be decided by a banal majority. Although, a more likely option is the blocking of the allocation of funds.

              So what ?! For that matter, then you are right, you can come up with sanctions for the fact that you are building icebreakers, for the fact that you can’t change the sex of your children and anything.

              You can shake like a tuzik in fear, or you can act ... no matter how like a hegemon pours quietly and departs into its natural habitat. As it was said there "The new world will be built on the wreckage of the SGA, at the expense of the SGA and against the SGA"; the Pole was just not much wrong when he wrote it.

              you can even sell KSA air defense systems on credit with a security deposit of, say, 10-15% of Aramco’s shares :)

                  The command economy is good for war. By the 60s, it had already exhausted itself; reforms were needed. Which suggested Kosygin, a competent person and thinking. But all his suggestions were killed by the ksesesovtsy, who were stiff in dogma. How capitalism! As Alexei Nikolayevich himself said:
                  "Nothing left. Everything collapsed. All work was stopped, and the reforms fell into the hands of people who do not want them at all ... The reform is torpedoed. The people with whom I developed the materials of the congress have already been removed, and others have been called upon. And I'm not expecting anything. ”
                  And the Union has already entered the stage of crisis, or rather, collapse.
                  So, China learned from our mistakes. Where is the Union now and where is China?
                  And a state can be social with any socio-political formation, even an absolute monarchy, like Saudi Arabia.

            An interesting question, but just can not give a loan?
            Or give? Brotherly.

            Unions are concluded in the face of a common danger, or in the case of a serious derban when it’s just hard for one, pull it all and invite the wolves / partners of the bull to fill up, and even then you can have a bite to eat each other while sharing meat

            How original ...

            The authorized capital is about 217 billion SDRs (as of January 2008, 1 SDR was approximately 1,5 US dollars). It is formed by contributions from Member States, each of which usually pays approximately 25% of its quota in SDRs or in the currency of other members, and the remaining 75% in its national currency. Based on the size of quotas, votes are distributed among member countries in the governing bodies of the IMF.
            The largest number of votes in the IMF (as of June 16, 2006]) belong to: USA - 17,08% (16,407% - 2011); Germany - 5,99%; Japan - 6,13% (6,46% - 2011); Great Britain - 4,95% Russia - 2,74%
            . The remaining countries, accounting for over 84% of the number of members of the Fund, account for only 39,65%

            Yes . The United States practically has a decisive vote, as its contributions to the IMF are the largest.

        The IMF did not give a loan, on the contrary, let the Persians rejoice. The coronavirus will pass, and the loan will remain, by the way, along with the sanctions. Tell me at least one state that benefited from IMF loans? That's right, there are none. But there are dozens of countries whose economies, the monetary fund, have launched all over the world with their loans. Some are selling the last land. laughing So the Chinese did the right thing. "Listen to the IMF's advice and do the opposite." That's the whole recipe for success.

        To block the decision of the IMF (by the way, the brainchild of the federal reserve, headquartered in the same USA), this is not strength and power, but arrogance and lack of principle. As for the real strength of the American economy, this is evident from the recipes from the American "economists". Take and fill everything stupidly with new, unsecured money. Such super-duper "recipes" for saving the economy, each of us can give out on the mountain, in dozens. Will it help? lol

          Regarding the real power of the American economy,
          It’s worth looking at the impossibility and unwillingness to provide health workers and their own army even with banal masks. The American Reichswehr already sews masks himself. From your own underwear. It is not clear why the real power of American economy is shy or skipping in such a situation. This is to protect their own carcass and health - the army and medicine.

      Extra evidence that the United States is a bastard country, and its politicians have not gone far from the Nazis. Hating Iran and fearing to solve their problems by military means, they are ready to ban the provision of financial assistance to combat the pandemic if only as much as possible would die. And the IMF is indeed under the dictates of the United States and most likely will meet American Wishlist.

      [quote] The American edition notes that the United States, being the largest shareholder of the International Monetary Fund, largely determines who to allocate funds and who does not. [/ quote Not the IMF itself, but the US government decides what and how the International Monetary Fund should decide. Why? Because the United States has a "controlling stake" in the IMF votes, which was determined when it was created. And "independent" central banks are members of the International Monetary Fund, they comply with the norms of this organization. Here's how it turns out.
