That's most of SoAm and every country that matters.
China and Russia can have the losers.

Vasquez already has an unsigned agreement that need to be dusted off.
You're never on the right side Stevie.
It must make you sad.
and
crazy
I always enjoy watching a victim mentality at work.
Apr 21st, 2015 - 08:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Always someone else's fault.
No fingerpointing, Skip. All is good.
Apr 21st, 2015 - 09:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We just stop dealing with them.
We always called them criminals. History proved us right...
Stopped dealing with them?
Apr 21st, 2015 - 10:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Huh?
The World Bank has 382 projects currently running in Latin America and the Caribbean.
13 active projects in Uruguay!
33 active projects in Argentina!
71 active projects in Brazil!
So when will you stop dealing with them exactly?
Is that the case for the IMF as well?
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 12:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0The world bank is still useful for infrastructure, we will use it until the other banks are up and running... Shamelessly.
;)
Oh so you are still dealing with the World Bank then!
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 01:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Interesting!
And now onto the IMF?
Well all Latin American and Caribbean countries other than Cuba, are members.
Some of their voting rights amount to:
Brazil - 14th largest
Mexico - 16th largest
Venezuela - 20th largest
Argentina - 22nd largest
Together they account for more voting power than the UK or France or China or Russia.
So are you not dealing with the IMF either?
And please feel free to join and use any bank you wish. The fact is you need them and my country doesn't.
I assumed we where talking about loans, now you mean voting rights is somehow dealing with... What, really???
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 06:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Your country loans, and has done so the last 20 years, in such extense, you are what is called net international debitor. If you are from Australia or USA, you are top 3. If you are from the UK, top 6.
Your country needs the banks MUCH more thank mine ;)
When did dealing with become loans?
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 11:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0I get whiplash on how often you move the goalposts.
I never mentioned the word loans once.
How? Because using the services of the IMF, when it comes to loans, debt restructuring or terms, it's like dancing with the devil.
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 11:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0The rest is merely annoyed burps from a stumbling giant.
With that, we can deal.
Oh so you do deal with them now?
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 12:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Quite erratic aren't you.
He's a blockhead and boring. No matter how many facts you point out there's always his delusions to fall back on.
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 12:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Stevie's insanity, hoping and dreaming always fails like Socialism is failing in Caracas.
Pay it no attention.
Skip, if you consider having a voting right as us dealing with the IMF, what can I say... I hope our countries continue on that path of mutual benefits with IMF.
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 01:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We vote, and they stay far away...
We are all Chavez Stevie,
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 01:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have to laugh when you posts things your clearly have no understanding about.
You're like one of those idiots who believe all the main stream liberal media lies that they try to make into a hysteria.
Silly creature, you should learn to read before you post.
You make yourself look like a retard with a key board.
And still you are the one who needs to swear in order to make a point, a perfect mirror of your manners, education and lack of motherly love.
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 02:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That, or too much love from daddy....
I rarely curse, not even in my real world so I am curious if you could point it out for me.
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 02:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Was it this;
Stevie's insanity, hoping and dreaming always fails like Socialism is failing in Caracas.
So after all that, Latin America still deals with the World Bank and the IMF.
Apr 22nd, 2015 - 10:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As I always thought.
Yep Skip.
Apr 23rd, 2015 - 01:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0We agreed on us voting and IMF staying away.
The sense of control is a double edged sword.
We like it like that... ;)
Every nation stays in the IMF so they can access WB, IFC, IDB etc etc etc loans.
Apr 23rd, 2015 - 01:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Stupid Stevie can't seem to grasp the differnence in the institutions and their mandates.
I'm not surprised though,
Is anyone else?
The world bank is a development bank. The IMF is a self-proclaimed minister of finance in every country in the world.
Apr 23rd, 2015 - 04:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If IMF policies leads to the world bank refusing funding, it's OK yanqui, we turn to China until proper institutions are up and running.
I don't know what you did to the Chinese, but they seem to grab any opportunity to work against your recommendations...
