Avertisment privind revenirea la „terapia de șoc” a FMI. Reducerile de cheltuieli cerute țărilor s-au cvadruplat

Oxfam warns that IMF's spending cut targets for aid-receiving countries have quadrupled since 2018, raising concerns about a return to harmful fiscal adjustments from the 1980s. The organization criticizes the weakening of social spending protections in IMF loan programs, which jeopardizes essential public services for low-income communities. Oxfam's analysis shows that the average spending cut targets have increased from 0.21% of GDP in 2018 to 0.85% by 2025. They urge the IMF to reject structural adjustments that could worsen inequalities and advocate for progressive taxation to ensure sustainable revenue without pushing millions into poverty.
