This new policy is expected to have a significant impact on countries seeking IMF support, as many nations rely on external financing commitments from friendly countries to bolster their economic stability.

The decision to impose this requirement comes at a time when many countries around the world are facing economic uncertainty and instability due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The IMF has been playing a critical role in providing financial support to these nations, but with the new policy, countries will have to demonstrate a greater level of fiscal responsibility before they can receive any assistance.

While the new IMF requirement may seem like an added burden for countries in need of financial assistance, it is also a positive step towards promoting greater financial stability and reducing the risk of economic crises. By requiring countries to secure external financing commitments before receiving bailout funds, the IMF is encouraging greater transparency and accountability in financial transactions.

Overall, the new IMF requirement for fulfilling external financing commitments before releasing bailout funds is likely to have far-reaching implications for the global economy. While it may create some short-term challenges for countries seeking financial assistance, it is a positive step towards promoting greater fiscal responsibility and reducing the risk of economic crises.
