Furthermore, although in the wake of the financial crisis the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has provided emergency loans totaling US $ 100billion, these loans have come with harsh conditions attached, which force the countries receiving them to curb government spending, raise interest rates, rein in the money supply, allow unprofitable companies to go under, and reduce rates of economic growth.
再說，金融風暴後，「國際貨幣基金」（IMF）雖然提供了總計高達千億美元的紓困貸款，但這些貸款卻有嚴苛的附帶條件，受援國家必須緊縮政府開支、提高利率、抽緊銀根、任憑經營不良的企業倒閉，並且降低經濟成長率。
