"Sometimes solutions aren’t new — they’re about using existing resources more creatively. Selling #IMF gold could provide funding for debt relief and help countries manage crises." -Marina Zucker-Marques, Boston University, at #IMFMeetings

"Without fair debt workouts, recovery isn’t possible. Restructuring must restore fiscal space so governments can meet basic human rights obligations." -Mahinour El Badrawi, @cesr.bsky.social, at #IMFMeetings #WBGMeetings.

"IMF conditionality still falls short on ensuring fairness and safeguarding social protection. Without these, no adjustment program can be politically or socially sustainable." –Shady Hassan, @menafem.bsky.social, at #IMFMeetings #WBGMeetigs.

"With cuts to official development aid, countries struggling with debt need to do more with less resources." -Allison Holland, IMF, at #IMFMeetings #WBGMeetigs.

"The #IMF has to champion progressive taxation, including wealth taxes, to address extreme inequality in Lebanon. Tax is not only about generating revenue but also building public trust," said @oxfammena.bsky.social's Nizar Aouad.

There must be an evaluation of IMF programs aimed at benefiting the people, so that they can work better and prevent further harm. The poorest are currently paying the highest price for #austerity, this must end, Nabil Abdo also said at #WBGMeetings #IMFMeetings.
