Huizenga Statement on the IMF’s Decision not to Disburse Funds for Another Greek Bailout
Washington,
June 15, 2017
Today, Congressman Bill Huizenga (MI-02) issued the following statement after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced it will not contribute funds to another Greek Bailout at this time:
“While I am pleased the IMF will not be disbursing additional loans to Greece at this time, it is imperative the IMF bases its lending practices on principled and sound decision-making. A failure to do so will continue to leave the IMF open to future exploitation as a junior partner to the Eurozone’s bailout fund. The damage that European shareholders have inflicted on the IMF’s reputation is real, and this will inform the direction the U.S. takes in its governance of the Fund.” |
