SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 19 – When the
International Monetary Fund
addressed the Middle East,
Central Asia and the Caucuses
on October 19, Inner City
Press posed a question and got
an answer on each.
Inner City Press
asked the IMF's Jihad Azour,
Director of the Middle East
and Central Asia Department,
"What is the IMF's assessment
of the turmoil in Kyrgyz
Republic? Can or will the IMF
to do anything to assist,
including on continued
COVID-19 response as well as
debt to China /
Eximbank?"
His answer,
interim video here,
recounted the IMF's
pre-turmoil assistance to
Kyrgyzstan. here.
Inner City
Press also asked, "On Yemen,
what is the status of the use
of the new riyal banknotes
printed by the Central Bank in
Yemen, and any actions taken
by the IMF?" and, when called
on by video for a follow-up,
about the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict between Azerbaijan
and Armenia. Video on
YouTube here.
On the
latter, Jihad Azour cited the
IMF's Technical Assistant center
set for Almaty, Kazakhstan
and said the IMF joins in
calls for a ceasefire (which
have been mouthed by but not
followed up on by the
UNresponsive UN). We'll have
more on this.
