IMF Around the World this Week (ending 23 August 2013)

These are the matters the global inflationist IMF dealt with this week according to their website. Click each link for details. 

A quiet week for the IMF, but Lagarde's speech at Jackson Hole compensated for all the damage avoided. In her speech (the first link below), she mentioned UMP - Unconventional Monetary Policies, no less than 45 times! We suggest Lagarde resigns and instead attempts a comeback in synchronized swimming. She will have much more success there than in saving the world with Global Calculus and UMPs. But wait, if she mentioned UMPs 1045 times, maybe that would work?
