FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda By Paul Wiseman | ap.org
The International Monetary Fund said Wednesday it is preparing $127 million in zero-interest loans to the three African countries hardest hit by the Ebola outbreak – Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The money would help the three governments deal with rising health and security expenses at a time when Ebola has damaged their economies and reduced tax revenue.
The loans would cover “a sizeable share” of the $300 million the governments need over the next six to nine months, the IMF said in a statement. The IMFs staff recommended the loans and the funds board will consider the request early next month.
The $127 million would be on top of existing IMF loans to the three countries.
The World Bank on Tuesday approved a $105 million grant to finance efforts to contain Ebola. The disease is believed to have killed at least 2,400 people in the biggest outbreak ever.
The outbreak is also doing considerable economic damage. As Ebola spreads, farmers leave their fields, shops close and transportation is disrupted.
The World Bank said Ebola will reduce economic growth in Guinea this year to 2.4 percent from previous expectations of 4.5 percent growth. Liberias growth is forecast to slip to 2.5 percent from 5.9 percent and Sierra Leones to 8 percent from 11.3 percent.
