Aust's contribution to IMF small - Swan

Sunday, April 22, 2012 » 05:03pm

Australia's $US7 billion ($A6.8 billion) contribution to the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) European bailout package will help stabilise any further deterioration in the region, says Treasurer Wayne Swan.

The IMF said on Friday it had raised more than $US430 billion in an effort to assure finance markets that it has sufficient firepower to handle any new problems from Europe's prolonged debt crisis.

Mr Swan said Australia's contribution was 'very small' compared with the total amount raised.

'Our commitment is proportionate to our representation on the IMF,' he told ABC Television on Sunday.

'Many other developed economies have made far larger commitments than the commitment that Australia made.'

Other countries contributing to the fund include Singapore ($US4 billion), South Korea ($US15 billion) and the United Kingdom ($US15 billion).

The IMF bailout fund will ensure 'far greater certainty in the global economic outlook', Mr Swan said.

CONTRARY to popular perception, these figures are

NOT representing "gifts"

to Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy - or any OTHER floundering EU economy

They are LOAN PLEDGES to the International Monetary Fund

I'm never sure if this main-stream media ERROR IN REPORTING
is the result of

IGNORANCE

DELIBERATE MISLEAD

New IMF Loan Fund Tops $430 Billion

Friday, April 20th, 2012

The International Monetary Fund says it has raised more than $430 billion in new reserves to combat future economic troubles around the world.

The international lending agency had set a $400 billion goal for a new rescue fund, in part to combat the possible global economic fallout if the European governmental debt crisis worsens again.

IMF managing director Christine Lagarde said the agency won several new
loan pledges
on Friday, including from China, Russia,
Australia
, South Korea, Singapore and Great Britain.
