Khelil sent me this: "The IMF is so generous: “The
IMF stands ready to help Tunisia with policy advice, technical assistance and,
if appropriate, financing. The IMF will continue to remain closely engaged with
the Tunisian authorities in providing policy advice and supporting the
authorities’ reform projects through technical assistance,” said International
Monetary Fund (IMF) First Deputy Managing Director David Lipton." And here is
their idea of "help": Deeper
trade integration, better functioning labor markets, education better geared
towards private sector needs, and a fair business environment to encourage
investment will all be needed to promote job creation and help fight high rates
of unemployment. An effective social safety net that protects those most in need
must complement a strong private sector that creates jobs."
Since
when has the iMF given a shit about a safety net? and we know what their idea of
"functioning labor markets" is.
