NYC,
Sept 12–
When the IMF held its press
briefing on September 12,
Inner City Press was able to
asked the spokesperson three
questions: On Sri Lanka,
please comment on the Finance
Ministry saying that Ministry
"opposing the IMF’s DSA could
lead to severe delays in
securing financial support" -
true? On
Bangladesh, amid reports the
country wants to seek a $5
billion IMF program after the
exit of Sheikh Hasina, can you
state the status of such a
request, and
review? On Russia,
please explain the status of
Ksenia Yudaeva, under US
sanctions since 2022, and
this: "According to Alexey
Mozhin, Ksenia Yudaeva will
have to run the office from
Moscow, as sanctions prevent
her from visiting the United
States, where the IMF is
headquartered." Is that
true? The
spokesperson Julie Kozack's
replies referenced Sri Lanka's
hard-won gains, as well as
saying the September 21
election is up to the Sri
Lankan people. On Bangladesh,
Ms. Kazack said the IMF is
saddened by the loss of life,
there is a staff visit. And on
Ms. Yudaeva, she said
Executive Directors are
elected so answering would be
premature. Transcript and
updates coming - watch this
