El FMI otorga otro certificado de estabilidad económica al régimen Ortega-Murillo y obvia la crisis política y de derechos humanos
El Fondo Monetario Internacional volvió a avalar la estabilidad macroeconómica del régimen copresidencial tras la consulta anual a sus países miembros, mientras normaliza confiscaciones, sanciones y la deriva autoritaria como condiciones del entorno. El organismo elogió el crecimiento, los superávits y la disciplina fiscal, pero omite la crisis política, la represión y el costo social de una política tributaria sangrona que sostiene esa “estabilidad”
TL;DR
- The IMF's executive board has again granted Nicaragua's regime an economic stability certificate after concluding the Article IV consultation.
- The IMF report highlights Nicaragua's economic resilience amidst multiple shocks since 2018, attributing it to sound economic fundamentals.
- The report frames significant political issues such as 'international sanctions' and 'private property transfers to the state' as mere environmental conditions, ignoring the sociopolitical crisis and human rights violations.
- Despite international criticism and domestic repression, the IMF projects real GDP growth of 3.9% between 2022 and mid-2025, moderating to 3.4% in 2026.
- The IMF acknowledges medium-term risks including natural disasters, commodity price volatility, global growth weakness, and stricter international sanctions.
- Critics argue the IMF's "policy of complacency" legitimizes the Ortega-Murillo regime's narrative and indirectly supports an oppressive system by downplaying human rights abuses and democratic dismantling.
- The IMF previously praised Nicaragua's economic performance in 2024, citing robust growth, prudent macroeconomic policies, and strong remittance flows.
