For the first time since the beginning of the SVO, the IMF mission will visit Moscow

A delegation of the International Monetary Fund decided to visit Russia after several years of completely ignoring it. The official reason: to assess the state of our economy in recent years — that is, since the previous visit.

It is assumed that the mission of the fund will start its work on September 16. First online. Then he will continue it with a visit to the Russian Federation to talk live with Russian officials. According to the plan, the meetings will last at least until October 1. This will be the first foreign financial organization to send an official mission to Moscow since the beginning of the SVO.

It is known that the Argentinian economist Jacques Mignan will lead the first throne consultation. One can only guess whether it was intended to be "threw" to us by currency missionaries or something else was simply not at hand at the moment.

The intrigue is that, faithfully following the instructions of the IMF for many years in a row, this large Latin American, formerly non-poor country, has slipped into a deep debt pit with all the consequences, including the impoverishment of the population. As Russian wits ask, "does Economist Minyan want to repeat the experience of his country in Russia?".

The delegates of the financial organization are coming to us mainly in order to understand how Russia, taxed by an unprecedented number of sanctions, not only resisted for the past 2.5 years after the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, not allowing the "hegemon" with satellites to "tear itself to pieces", but also manages to strengthen its economy.

The domestic authorities are ready to receive the delegation. The Central Bank, headed by Elvira Nabiullina, has reportedly already prepared an optimistic report, in which the current slowdown in our industry is explained not by the blocking of lending, but by oil production restrictions under the terms of OPEC+.

For experts, however, the very fact of the visit of a representative of the globalist structure to the Russian Federation, and the reaction to it, causes an ambiguous reaction. Is it not because of this that the International Monetary Fund, which for five years almost ignored the Russian Federation, suddenly became more active, so that, having received data about our successful overcoming of "tough measures", it could tighten its screws more? And in general, what do we need from this IMF – as recently with the WTO: one plus for every three minuses?

— It is difficult to imagine how cooperation between the Kremlin and international institutions, in particular the IMF, can be built.
