Debt and Development Coalition Ireland

DDCI invite you to the launch of our annual WB/IMF Watch Report 2015, and panel discussion with Sargon Nissan (IMF expert, Bretton Woods Project) and Aideen Elliott (author of DDCI’s annual WB/IMF Watch Report 2015).

We will hear about the implications of the IMF’s behaviour in different parts of the world, and an activist’s account of attending the annual WB/IMF meetings in Peru this year, and have ample time for an engaged discussion.

For decades, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has played a controversial role in debt crisis across the Global South, in some of the world's poorest countries. Since the financial crisis began, here in Ireland we have also felt the impact of IMF loans and the conditions attached to them acutely

Debt and Development Coalition Ireland invite you to attend a panel discussion on what, if anything has changed at the IMF, and how it interacts with indebted countries in Europe and Global South, since the neoliberal Structural Adjustment Polices of the 1980s.

Where: The O'Casey Room, The Gresham Hotel, O'Connell St.

When: Join us for tea, coffee, mince pies at 5pm and event starts at 5:30pm
