The International Monetary Fund stands ready to mobilize its $1 trillion lending capacity to help countries lessen the blow from the coronavirus, said Kritalina Georgieva, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, on Monday. In a blog post, Georgieva said the IMF was able to rapidly disburse up to $50 billion in loans to emerging and developing economies. Low income countries can access $10 billion in zero-interest-rate loans. The IMF has 40 lending programs on-going and can use these arrangements to provide rapid loans. So far, 20 countries have expressed an interest. "Our answers to this crisis will not come from one method, one region, or one country in isolation," Georgieva said.
