IMF: crisis affects poor
International Monetary Fund said that the poor countries began to be affected by the global financial crisis, and these countries may need to be worth $ 25 billion in additional funding this year.
He described the situation faced by the fund poor countries as "third wave" of the crisis, which affected the first developed countries, and emerging economies, and now hit the poor countries.
The Fund appealed to donor countries not to reduce its aid to the poor countries.
The International Monetary Fund said in a report recently that the poor countries more vulnerable to the current crisis because it has become more integrated global economy than in the past.
It is therefore likely that the countries affected by this downturn suffered by the global economy by easing trade and foreign investment and remittances sent by workers in the rich countries of the sons.Humanitarian crisis
The IMF report says that more than twenty countries - half of them from sub-Saharan Africa - are more susceptible than others to be affected negatively by the current crisis.
The report warns that this number will double in the case of global economic growth continued to deteriorate, which would increase the additional amounts that these countries will need 140 billion dollars.
Says Dominique Strauss-Kahn, President of the Fund: "After the crisis hit the first developed countries and emerging economies, here's now hit the poor and most vulnerable, which will threaten the great achievements made by these countries in the last decade in the areas of economic growth and combat poverty and political stability."
Strauss-Kahn called on donor countries to provide necessary assistance to ward off the threat of humanitarian disasters in poor countries.
The IMF, which represents 185 of the world that he has already increased its support to poor countries in the past year, and he was ready to give more.
But Andrew Walker, BBC for Economic Affairs, says that the amounts offered by the Fund for poor countries is relatively small, can not be compared to aid given by the middle-income countries affected by the larger economic crisis.
