Why do we need the IMF?
Smoothing the bumps in the flow of foreign exchange

Lead a Protest, Enter Politics


You’re not the only one who can’t make a living any more.. You are outraged at the government. So you help organize a huge rally against the bad economic conditions. You make a passionate speech demanding change. The President hears your speech and appoints you to be his Economics Minister. You sell your telephone dealership to avoid any conflicts of interest and devote yourself fully to solving Yak's economic problems.

As Minister, you want to get Yak's economy back on track. It's your job to work with the central bank to develop a good policy for managing inflation and interest rates. You also must work with your ministry of finance to keep government spending in line with tax revenues. If your reforms are to succeed, you need more hard currency to allow merchants to import the goods your citizens want.

How will you obtain more hard currency?

Buy it from other countries by increasing exports. Ask rich countries such as Zedland to give it to you.
Try to borrow it from other countries. Work to convince foreign investors to put money into Yak's industries.
