External Grants and IMF Policies -- An IMF Issues Brief External grants are important for low-income countries, particularly in their efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Some critics contend that IMF-supported programs discourage higher grant flows intended to support poverty-reducing spending. In fact, the IMF strongly supports higher external grants, and works with its member countries to ensure that they are used to best advantage. | September 21, 2004 |
