IMF Approves Loan (To Pay Ukraine's Gazprom Bill): Putin 1 - 0 IMF
After 'billing' Ukraine this morning, Gazprom must be jubilant this evening as news exudes from Washington that...
- *IMF APPROVES UKRAINE LOAN OF $17 BLN OVER TWO YEARS
- *UKRAINE EXPECTS FIRST TRANCHE OF IMF AID MAY 5-MAY 8: FIN MIN
But,
- *IMF SAYS IMMEDIATE UKRAINE LOAN DISBURSEMENT TO BE $3.2 BLN
So that won't even cover the $3.49bn they already owe to Gazprom? (In fact, $2.2bn is approved for dissemination to Gazprom)
Remember we were already told by Ukraine that:
- *UKRAINE ENERGY MIN DOESN'T AGREE WITH GAZPROM'S LATEST BILL
- *UKRAINE ENERGY MIN SAYS CAN'T PAY PRICE GAZPROM IS PROPOSING
So - which is it? Won't Pay or Can't Pay?
As Bloomberg reports,
The government plans to use $2 billion from the first disbursement to support the budget as it seeks to trim the fiscal gap to 8.5 percent of gross domestic product this year and 6.1 percent in 2015, according to the document. The shortfall includes subsidies to state-run energy company NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy.
Part of the IMF money will help Ukraine settle $2.2 billion in back payments to Russian state-controlled OAO Gazprom for natural gas and pay for future imports. Gazprom said it will ask Ukraine to pay $485 per 1,000 cubic meters in the second quarter, more than the European market price.
...
After twice freezing loans to Ukraine since 2008, the fund is banking on the interim government’s resolve to tackle unpopular measures such as the phasing out of natural-gas subsidies.
The fund approval clears the way for additional aid from the European Union and the U.S. just as they widen sanctions against Russia for its actions in Ukraine.
...
“The authorities’ economic program supported by the fund aims to
restore macroeconomic stability, strengthen economic governance and
transparency, and launch sound and sustainable economic growth, while
protecting the most vulnerable,” the Washington-based IMF said in an e-mailed statement today.
Remember, this is all about ensuring Europe gets it gas - since Russia/Gazprom had said no more through Ukraine pipelines if the bill was not paid since they were afraid of stealing.

so, 17 trillion plus no biggie...right? ouy vey
reminds me of eastern airline pilots dressed in full uniform
picketing for raises outside of reagan national whilst their company was in chapter 11....
Knowing this will end up in Putin's hands, is this an attempt to find his stash???
They know exactly where his money is. It is in the same place they got their's stashed. If they violate that criminal sanctuary, a whole bunch of Snowden leaks all of a sudden pop up exposing a few key NWO people's massive hoards of wealth in the same criminal sanctuary and then WWIII commences...
"Let them eat 9-irons."
"Please sir, can't I have a putter?"
lmao...just had the visual of Ukraine phone ringing..."damn collections"
A big Subotnik will bring in the missing USD 200 Mio, and even more.
hmmmm, the second time the Fed back-door loaned money to the Nazi
In addition, the country already owes the IMF under previous loan programs and the Fund's new loan could be tapped to repay off that.
LOL.A "loan"? Who in the bankrupt nation is going to repay that "loan"?
If Putin takes the whole country, will the IMF go after Russia?
Where's my popcorn?
Ah hem... The IMF is 80% funded by US taxpayers. ...so now you should feel better
Let me see if I have this right...
Ukraine gets a big loan to prop up their government and "trim the fiscal gap to 8.5%" and 6.1% in 2015? How much of their industrial base is going with Russia on this one? I am wondering what that fiscal gap will look like with: 1) no gas, 2) no industrial base but really really good farm land, and 3) a huge bill to keep what little military they have on standby to stop those pesky Russians 24/7/365 over the next year?
I wonder if "our guy" who is now in charge of Ukraine understands that he is getting butt raped as we speak? Smart move for sure.
Allow me to simplify for you; "Who runs bartertown?!?!?"
Tracerfan A "loan"? Who in the bankrupt nation is going to repay that "loan"?

IMF Approves Loan (To Pay Ukraine's Gazprom Bill)

Please refrain from making sense...
dieses System ist kaputt
A U S T E R I T Y !
STABILITEEEEE.
sayeth Jean-Claude Trichet. And for anyone wondering what happened to this former President of ECB: "On 1/26/2012, the board of the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company approved the nomination of JC Trichet to the Board (to be formally validated by the General Assembly of shareholders on 5/31/12), where he will represent (with Dominique d’Hinnin of the Lagardère Group) the Sogeade - the structure bearing the French shareholders' interests.[2][3]
"On April 2012, Trichet was also appointed Bruegel's new chairman for a period of three years.[4] He will chair an 11-member Board, appointed by Bruegel’s members, whose main task is to make decisions on the think-tank’s strategy.
"Trichet succeeded Mario Monti as chairman of the European branch of the Trilateral Commission in 2012.[5] He is a member of the Steering Committee of the Bilderberg Group.[6]"

Pay that man his money. He won that money, fair and square.
As payment for the loan, the IMF (Fed) will accept the huge mining rights for Ukraine's unobtainium.
IMF = the fucking bagman for transnational corporations.
the "Higher than the European price" stuff is about the transit fee
What's Detroit in the whole for? Oh well, More bankrupt countries giving another bankrupt country monopoly money.

IMF conditionality is a set of policies or conditions that the IMF requires in exchange for financial resources.[8] The IMF does not require collateral from countries for loans but rather requires the government seeking assistance to correct its macroeconomic imbalances in the form of policy reform. If the conditions are not met, the funds are withheld.[8] Conditionality is perhaps the most controversial aspect of IMF policies.[17
good luck with the correcting the imbalances...haha
Someone might want to look into where Ms. Lagarde banks her true personal wealth. All the key empire players have personal accounts at THE bank.
You want to know who really rules over you follow the personal money.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out the Rothschild's are covering the difference from one of their personal accounts at THE bank transfering funds directly to Putin's account to keep the gas on for the moment while the public pissing match plays out. They get it on the back end in the rape and pillage by the IMF of resources for pennies on the dollar.
There is reason why they can't find all these people's monetary direct personal wealth when it comes to these richest in the world lists.
It really is fascinating how the IMF pulls so many strings in these countries.
Hard to believe Ukrainian "ultra-nationalists" are so pumped to hand their people and belief systems over to another era of debt-bondage based in Washington DC.
Every self respecting ultra-nationalist I know would take these bankers out into the street and shoot them in the head as a rejection of the humiliation of Western debt-slavery.
Team FSB/GRU. You want to hoodwink the Euro Combine, try executing some IMF'ers and other banksters instead of parading OSCE observers around. You look like Iranian "students" circa 1979.
If you are going for the hearts and minds, at least target the most villainous scum that nobody has sympathy for.
So who are the War Mongers? Not the IMF and NOT Ukraine and NOT the USA and NOT the EU.
Can you dolts not see through your own lies and deceits or are you just paid Kremlin stooges?
And again, -IF- war is advanced by Russia then Russia will be getting a new flag. It will be entirely WHITE.

So why should I give a fuck of one ant colony takes over another? You are the dolt.
That attitude, if taken during WW2, would have seen a World Reich.

Ukrainian Junta Citizenism citizens finance wars because they want wars. It gives them some opportunities they look for.
Good grief, sir. US arms to Germany, from there to Ukraine, from there to Al Qaeda in Syria to fight for a pipeline funded by Qatar and the Saudis, and of course the Tribes win, too. Not war mongers? That kind of blindness is bad in a lot of ways.
get an IQ, >75, THEN post here, please. do us all a favour
He who controls the gas - makes the rules.
He who passes gas thru his lips ... is most likely full of sh*t.
Now the Ukrainians a REALLY F'd!
Announce Ukraine's ascension into NATO and demand a trillion dollars ...that would be a trillion US DOLARES for all you home gamers out there...for Full Retarding Crimea...and then issue an " or else" ultimatum as well.
IMF approves a loan to pay Gazprom bill while O'dipshit & Co. draw imaginary lines in the air by way of financial sanctions. You can't make this stuff up. Oh, and the white house did not change the talking points on Benghazi. My ASS! Crooks, all of them. Whatever happens they deserve what they get.
Putin's score is a lot higher than that.
"Remember, this is all about ensuring Europe gets it gas - since Russia/Gazprom had said no more through Ukraine pipelines if the bill was not paid since they were afraid of stealing."
Yeah, it is because of Ukraine's default that Gazprom needs to be afraid for its pipelines... lol. The Ukraine people wouldn't tamper with the pipelines due to Russia's illegal invasion, occupation and rigged referendum performed in Crimea. Or the raiding of Ukrainian government/security buildings by Russian spec ops. Or the rediculously massive "military exercise" on Ukraine's border. Or the theft of Ukrainian vessels. Or renege on the Gazprom/Ukraine contract. Or the renege on Butapest memorandum. Or threatening to invade Crimea because Ukrainian security forces WEREN'T working to keep the peace thus 'putting at risk Russia Citizens' (paraphrase). Or threatening to invade the remainder of East Ukraine because security force WERE working to keep the peace and thus 'putting at risk Russian Citizens' (paraphrase).
And that is just the last month. But Yeah, if Gazprom's pipelines are at risk, its because of Ukraine's default. Not because of the stacks and stacks of bullshit Ukraine has endured from those Russia bastard liers.
The Community Organizer is still a little confused... So the State Dept And IMF are just taking over and ensuring that nat gas flows to Europe and that the "paybacks" from the Ukranians from the $17B honey pot make their way back to Brussels.
It's great that the IMF has an independent auditing group watching hw te $17B is spent.... yes...sarc.
