Zimbabwe and the International Monetary Fund
Republic of Zimbabwe initially joined the Fund on 3 February 1995.[1] It holds a quota of 706.8 million SDRs which translates to 0.17% of the total SDRs.[2]
2005 Loan repayment
[edit]In 2005, Zimbabwe made a mystery loan repayment of US$120 million to the International Monetary Fund due to expulsion threat from IMF.[3][4][5]
Zimbabwe in 2005 was economically torn down, in the midst of serious economic crisis; collapsing currency, de-investment, hunger and droughts, shortages of critical food supplies among others. This dates back to 1990s and early 2000s crisis and Zimbabwe's involvement in the war of Congo. Zimbabwe took a credit from IMF and went to war in Congo.[citation needed]
