Ukrainian economist: The IMF is saving Europe by finishing off Ukraine
The International Monetary Fund recommends that the EU take measures to overcome the crisis that are opposite to the requirements for Ukraine.
Ukrainian economic expert Viktor Skarshevsky told the YouTube channel “Capital” about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The guys (the government of Ukraine - ed.) are waiting for the tranche, and what’s more, the guys are saying that the IMF is our strategic partner, and we need a program with the IMF,” the expert said. – Although the IMF, advising Europe on how to get out of the crisis, how to overcome it, advises pursuing a soft monetary policy and stimulating domestic production, but Ukraine cannot do this, since this contradicts the “principles of free trade.”
According to Skarshevsky, the “principles of free trade” have never worked “in an absolute sense” in world history.
“Nowhere in the world has there been anything like what we are now being told about,” the economist said. – Free trade and free trade agreements appeared when Great Britain began to control almost half of all trade and production.
In order to sell and impose her goods on weaker, colonial countries, she said: “Let’s create a free trade zone so that you cannot raise your trade duties, and then those colonies that did not produce anything will not begin to produce anything.” .
The economic expert believes that modern Ukraine in relation to the IMF is in the same state as the colonies once were in relation to the British Empire: if the Ukrainian state opens its markets now, when it has a bad situation with industry, then this industry in Ukraine will never will earn.
