At the IMF: How long will this crisis last, no one can say

29


Director of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) Kristalina Georgieva for the first time gave her assessment of the economic dynamics that the world expects in 2020. Georgieva actually recognized that the global economy is sliding into a deep recession. At the same time, the estimates of the IMF managing director are extremely harsh.



From the statement:

In 2020, the global economy will face the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

Recall that the Great Depression is usually called the economic crisis that erupted in the United States in October 1929. Moreover, the crisis continued virtually until the outbreak of World War II - throughout the 1930s, striking various sectors of the economy. And only with the beginning of WWII in the USA did the economy begin to not only grow in volumes, but grow at a rapid pace, which ultimately allowed the States to become the first economic power in the world for many years (not without known actions to “appoint” the dollar as the main reserve currency in the world )

Kristalina Georgieva:

Coronavirus undermined public and economic order. This happened instantly, and on a scale that had never happened in our memory. This will lead to an unprecedented crisis over the past almost one hundred years.

According to the director of the IMF, "this crisis no longer knows the boundaries, and no one can say how long it will last."

From the statement:

Over the past two months, portfolio outflows from emerging markets totaled about $ 100 billion, more than three times more than during the same period of the global financial crisis. Exporters of goods receive a double blow from falling commodity prices. And remittances — the lifeblood of so many poor people — are expected to decline.

At the same time, the IMF believes that in order to smooth out the situation, it is necessary to focus primarily on those economic expenses that should go towards supporting medicine - in order to defeat the pandemic.

Ms. Georgieva added that he would affect not only economically developed countries, but also countries with developing economies.

      I would like to answer Ms. Georgieva: "Not with us, but with you!"

      No specifics. Just a panic. Investors withdraw loot (where to withdraw?).

      Coronovirus pandemic - as a concentrated expression of the crisis of capitalism.

      In addition, Ms. Georgieva does not at all consider an alternative to the capitalist system.
      During the Great Depression in the USA, the formation and development of the national economy in the USSR was in progress.

        Nothing like that will benefit the crisis — it will lose some weight.

    Fighting the crisis is certainly not to drive weak countries into debt bondage. Here you will have to work, and not warm the fifth point on a bag of money and dictate your conditions to those in need of real help. So let's see what the IMF and its officials are really capable of when the economic crisis is already drumming at all doors.

      Are you really so naive or just a complete optimist? Do you think that while the builders haven’t touched it, then this will continue to be so? By fall-winter, builders will also be shandarahnet so that little seems. Builders only satisfy consumer demand. And everything goes to the point that demand will collapse in the wake of the incomes of the vast majority of citizens. State employees and pensioners will suffer less than others.

    They inflated, inflated financial bubbles on exchanges, futures on futures, a dartboard on a tree, money out of money ... The value of a company is not even determined by its profit and dividends per share, but by the prices on the stock exchange, where speculative capital can change the value of enterprises for some minutes ten times.
    Production has been pushed into a corner ... Until they start putting things in order for these speculative capital flows, nothing will change ... So it will be, with a more or less rapid period ... Power is in the hands of financial capital.

    . And only with the beginning of WWII in the USA, the economy began not only to grow in volumes, but to grow rapidly.

    This moment is very disturbing.
    America can restart its economy by unleashing a new world war.

    A very, very "meaningful assessment": there will be a b-oh-oh-lshy crisis, it will last for some time - everyone needs to unite. laughing

    The IMF is a global microfinance organization.
    They know very well how to "strip" and destroy the country - the example of Ukraine.

    In other words, the next pseudo-international organization on a short leash of the State Department showed that the world does not need it, because what to do is not in the know. Following the EU, NATO, the UN and other WHO, Doctors Without Borders, ekolagami and more liberal, which is now ruining on a branch about coronovirus.
    There is no sense from them in any crisis - exactly zero.

    I don’t understand what we have to do with it. I haven’t seen these crises at all. Maybe only 98, what is the current threat to us? Gas has become cheaper. The salary has increased. There is a seed potato. The seedlings are growing on the windowsill. The hens are laying eggs. The weather is excellent, I want to work on the ground. If this is a crisis? Let it last forever. And to the whiners and litter-shakers-shakers and without a crisis it’s all worthless. Hands if there’s nothing.
