The IMF has also put in place a Flexible Credit Line to disburse funds quickly – and free of onerous conditions – to countries buffeted by financial crosswinds through no fault of their own. The problem is that, despite its alluring name, the new facility has had few takers, and no Asian takers in particular.
IMF 还推出了“灵活信贷额度”（ FCL ）以便快速划拨资金，资助那些在金融风暴中无辜受难的国家，而且不带附加条件。不过，尽管这个新工具的名字听上去很有吸引力，但是目前接受者寥寥，尤其是没有亚洲国家提出申请。
