This Bank was not founded to help rich countries or their projects. This Bank was founded to give poor countries access to credit without forcing them to align economic policies that favor only companies and people in rich countries.

Therefore, without approximations with the West!

So, “This Bank was not founded to help rich countries or their projects. This Bank was founded to give poor countries access to credit”...
NOT exactly......by what's written in the above article, “The new bank will fund infrastructure and development projects in BRICS countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa”, not ANY poor country......which is exactly what the BNDES has done...under the PT it has financed many 'shady' projects in other countries, in detriment of Brazil's needs, the reason why it was created in the first place. At least, with 4 (four) other members watching the accounts, Brazil's government will not be able to manipulate it or deviate funds to the PT.

No to IMF, no to World Bank, no to Interamerican Bank, no to Bndes, no to Asian Development bank, no to this new bank.

Argentina should withdraw immediately from all these corrupt institutions and tell the evil bankers to f-- off. In fact, banks in Argentina should be may illegal, probably.

5. A few years ago IDB got rid of most of their high paid G4 visa employees. The Rgs were literally screaming and crying not wanting to be sent back.
It was sad

I wish your Gov't shared your views Toby. Argentina is a drag on any Int'l org they are part of, nobody wants to deal with them and they are very bothersome.
Everyone would have a sigh of relief if they'd just pull out.
