Towards Another Formulation Of The Financing Problem: Can The G20 Serve As A Driver Of Policies For Prosperity And Sustainability?
Tatiana Oliveira, Carola Mejia, Marcela Vecchione-Gongalvez Policy Brief
In 2024, debtor countries will pay the International Monetary Fund (IMF) an effective annual interest rate of up to 8 basis points. The current lending rate policy is procyclical, it amplifies the global spill-over ofmonetary policy and makes it harder for IMF programs to promote economic recoveries. We recommend setting a cap on the lending rate and/or devising a surcharge-sliding scale.
