IMF
Does anyone know of a country that has clearly benefited from taking money from the IMF? I know of a few countries are now imo worse off for taking the money. If you can think of a country what policies did they require to be put into place if you know?

Didn't Mugabe from Rhoadesia get some a few years back? I heard he recently bough a million dollar house in Asia or somewhere. He also promised to make all his citizens millionaires, and he did that, so some good must have come from it
First Rhoadesia hasn't existed for a very long time, it's Zimbarbwe.
lol yup they are all Millionaires..... to bad a loaf of bread is more than a million.
I'm sure he must of taken some at one point. To bad i'm looking for sucsess's

I know. I make joke. A friend of mine who's family had farmed there for 10 generations or so was kicked off his land. He said he was born in Rhoadesia and would be damned if he was going to call it anything else.
Money lenders that lend money because they just want to 'help' people. That's a good one IMF!
In rare cases some countries benefitted, but vast majority gets ripped off. Maybe South African Republic got better. The trustworthiness of IMF can be clearly seen on it's council, small countries like Luxemburg or Belgium have much more influence there than Nigeria or Zaire. It's a club of rich countries commiting usury on the poor countries.
The whole "third world debt" is a fraud. These countries already paid their debts in interests many times, but they're not allowed to be debt-free. It is the only sane choice to erase all the debt and launch a massive, global humanitary program of sharing the resources and scientific knowledge.

I don't think South Africa got better because of the IMF I think it is more inspite of it. Regardless I believe we are still paying off a rather large some of money when it is despritely needed for other things. The reason we improved is oviously because we have gold. Has anyone seen a documrntary called life and debt? I think it summarises it quite nicely. I merely wanted to know if jamaca was the exception or the rule.
