Ethiopia lets Currency go into Freefall to get IMF Loan | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Ethiopia has secured a $3,4 Billion loan from the International Monetary Fund. But the loan came only after Ethiopia agreed to end its fixed currency exchange rate. The Ethiopian Birr lost 30% of its value on July 30. The currencies devaluation could lead to inflation because imports will get more expensive. Will Ethiopia become the next country to face protests because of the IMF's actions?

    IMF the master of neocolonialism in AFRICA
  • @ethiocsc8289
    In Ethiopia, no protest is allowed, unlike Kenya and Nigeria. Consequently, if Ethiopians manage to protest, it will immediately change into a violent revolution toppling the regime.
  • @prabhakar0076
    Ethiopia is dumb being BRICS +, didn't ask for help from BRICS. Asked help from IMF, what a waste

    The IMF strategy hasn't changed. Financial colonization.
  • Why I love this woman! Thank you for speaking of these issues. I’m from Ethiopia I live in the US.. I still feel bad for my people in Ethiopia. Last nigh cooking oil double the price. The people of Ethiopia already struggling, the PM Abiy did not consulting anyone about this loans. He will use the money to buy more weapons to kill his own people. God help us. 😢😢😢
  • @SamiSolman
    Why Ethiopia needs dollars? To buy a weapon? Why Ethiopia needs to import food? It has enough land and experience to produce enough food for its people.
  • @user-dp6es2id8b
    Thank you so much for being our voice and the great analysis. There is a lot to say about the war in Ethiopia. Hundreds are dying daily, because of the ongoing war with this cruel government specially in Amhara region.
  • @tadessehabte8948
    Well said "..taking an IMF loan is like gambling with your life.."
  • @Cheer2474
    I am ashamed of the poor leadership. They proudly announced loan as a breaking news congratulating Ethiopians. For the great nation, "Loan" became a national proud....
  • Had we had accountable governance in Africa, this loans would have helped...
  • @MP-ky8sr
    stop saving in printed dollars start saving in gold they cannot devalue what they cannot print and what is rare, compare all currencies to gold over 10 year periods if void of central bank dumping gold gold price has always gone up and provided a return greater than inflation
  • @dmx6244
