The IMF chief issued her message shortly before a call with leaders of the G7 wealthy democracies, several of which are battling severe coronavirus outbreaks.Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva on Monday said over 20 additional countries have asked about receiving aid from the global lender as the coronavirus pandemic halts economic activity, and she called for strong, coordinated fiscal stimulus to limit the damage.
Some of the countries expressing an interest in IMF financing to deal with the crisis already have IMF loan programs, while others do not, an IMF spokesperson said, adding that these inquiries do not necessarily constitute formal requests. The fund currently has loan and financial backstop programs with about 40 countries valued at about $200 billion.
On the monetary policy front, she said central banks “should continue to support demand and boost confidence by easing financial conditions and ensuring the flow of credit to the real economy,” citing emergency actions by the US Federal Reserve and other central banks on Sunday as an example.
