THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) is poised to deny Venezuela over $5 billion of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to bolster its reserves on the grounds that the elected President Nicolas Maduro is not the undisputed legitimate leader of the country.
The overall SDR fund, worth $650 billion (£459bn), is to be allocated to help emerging and low-income nations deal with mounting debt and the Covid-19 pandemic.
The IMF’s reactionary refusal to allow Venezuela access to the $5bn (£3.5bn) pot maintains that “the ongoing political crisis in Venezuela has led to a lack of clarity in the international community … regarding official government recognition.”
