da58 says():IMF says Iraq could secure 3-year standby deal by June
http://ift.tt/1ojB7iD
AMMAN, March 29 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund could approve a standby arrangement (SBA) with Iraq as soon as June if talks due to be held next month in Washington reach agreement, the head of the IMF's Iraq mission said on Tuesday.
Christian Josz told Reuters that an agreement could secure Iraq around $15 billion in financing - one third of it from the IMF itself and the rest from other international organisations and donors. If we conclude the discussions in April in Washington I think we could present an agreement of the standby arrangement for the approval of the board of the IMF in June," Josz said.
Iraq had made "good progress" in talks that began in November over a three-year standby deal, Josz said. The potential $15 billion package for the debt-ridden country could come from several sources including the IMF, the World Bank, Gulf states, the United States and other G7 countries.
"If they adjust their spending we see they have a financing need of $15 billion over three years," said Josz, envisaging the country would get at least $5 billion this year and the remainder by the end of the arrangement.
Iraq, with income nearly exclusively from oil, is struggling to pay its bills amid the fall in global crude prices. (Reporting by Suleiman Al-Khalidi; Editing by Dominic Evans)
da58 says():why would Iraq be needing a 'standby agreement' of 15bill by june.. what is meant by 'standby' - ?? Loop?? you must know.. !
Woodywoodpecker says():standby....if you need it
da58 says():like a line of credit.. ? of loans if needed - right??
da58 says():woody - thx..
da58 says to subgirl():it's validation.. says by june..
da58 says to subgirl():imo
watson1 says():??? if they are getting loan will they need rv ..
RickeyT says to da58():this is all speculation folks
RickeyT says to da58():no guarantees
da58 says to watson1():from what I understand, it's not 'getting a loan'.. it's a 'it's here if you need it' kind of thing..
larrykn says to watson1():they can have all the loans they want but they have to pay them back , at the current rate that would not happen , so yes they need to change the rate to go forward once they go international, that will also allow companies to enter into Iraq which will give money to Iraq to run

subgirl says to Loop():yes I like that article too!! (y)
Pablo says():Are they down to just 1 auction a week now?
subgirl says to Pablo():I dont think so yet...
Loop says to Pablo():No they are still occuring daily. But they are much lower then they have been in the past and are monitored like they never were before.
larrykn says to watson1():the IMF stated they will revalue in the first half of 2016 that is a revaluation of their currency, they have been working on that or sometime now, I believe we are about to see that happen now.
rcookie says to da58():IMF Stand-By ArrangementIn an economic crisis, countries often need financing to help them overcome their balance of payments problems. Since its creation in June 1952, the IMF’s Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) has been used time and again by member countries, it is the IMF’s workhorse lending instrument for emerging and advanced market countries.
The SBA was upgraded in 2009 along with the Fund’s broader toolkit to be more flexible and responsive to member countries’ needs. Conditions were streamlined and simplified, and more funds were made available up front, as borrowing limits were doubled in response to the global financial crisis. These limits were increased further in 2016. The new framework also enables broader high-access borrowing on a precautionary basis.
rcookie says to da58():Lending tailored to member countries’ needsThe SBA framework allows the Fund to respond quickly to countries’ external financing needs, and to support policies designed to help them emerge from crisis and restore sustainable growth.
rcookie says to da58():Eligibility. All member countries facing external financing needs are eligible for SBAs subject to IMF policies. However, SBAs are more often used by middle income (and, more recently, advanced) member countries, since low-income countries have a range of concessional instruments tailored to their needs.

However, SBAs are more often used by middle income (and, more recently, advanced) member countries, since low-income countries have a range of concessional instruments tailored to their needs.
rcookie says to da58():Duration. The length of a SBA is flexible, and typically covers a period of 12–24 months, but no more than 36 months, consistent with addressing short-term balance of payments problems.
rcookie says to da58():Borrowing terms. Access to IMF financial resources under SBAs is guided by a member country’s need for financing, capacity to repay, and track record with use of IMF resources. Within these guidelines, the SBA provides flexibility in terms of amount and timing of the loan to help meet the needs of borrowing countries. These include:
rcookie says to da58():Normal access. Following implementation of the 14th Review quotas in early 2016, borrowing limits were increased to give countries access of up to 145 percent of new quota for any 12-month period, and cumulative access over the life of the program of up to 435 percent of new quota, net of repayments. Exceptional access.
The IMF can lend amounts above normal limits on a case-by-case basis under its Exceptional Access policy, which entails enhanced scrutiny by the Fund’s Executive Board. During the current global economic crisis, countries facing acute financing needs have been able to tap exceptional access SBAs. Front-loaded access. The new SBA framework provides increased flexibility to front-load funds when warranted by the strength of the country’s policies and the nature of its financing needs.
rcookie says to da58():Rapid access. Fund support under the SBA can be accelerated under the Fund’s Emergency Financing Mechanism, which enables rapid approval of IMF lending. This mechanism was utilized in several instances during the recent crisis.
rcookie says to da58():Precautionary access. The new SBA framework has expanded the range of high access precautionary arrangements (HAPAs), a type of insurance facility against very large potential financing needs. Precautionary arrangements are used when countries do not intend to draw on approved amounts, but retain the option to do so should they need it.
rcookie says to da58():Fewer conditions, focus on objectives When a country borrows from the IMF, it agrees to adjust its economic policies to overcome the problems that led it to seek funding in the first place.
These commitments, including specific conditionality, are described in the member country’s letter of intent (which often includes memorandum of economic and financial policies).Building on earlier efforts, the IMF has further reformed the conditions of its lending to focus on criteria that are measurable and observable:
