A new Flexible Credit Line makes high-volume financing available – even before a crisis has struck – without any ex post policy conditionality to qualifying countries with strong economic fundamentals and policy frameworks. Some observers have dubbed the new facility “EZ loan,” though few countries meeting the qualifying criteria would consider their policy achievements – and their commitment to maintaining that record – anything but “easy.”
首先，IMF借款的政策条件在将来会更加适应各国的情况。新的“弹性信贷额度”会提供高额贷款，甚至是在危机之前。而且， 事后 也不会对达到标准的国家实行政策制约：这些国家都具有良好的经济基础和政策框架。一些观察家已经把新的工具称为“容易贷款’，尽管很少有达到合格标准的国家会认为他们在政策上的成功，以及他们坚持达到标准的努力是“容易”的。对于其他国家，制约政策将会更加严密地关注核心领域，IMF 会以一种不那么形式主义的方式来评判“结构性”的条件，这些条件需要通过立法措施来加以实现，但是立法的时间难以确定。
