Germany Pledges Extra $3.4Bln to IMF Coronavirus Response Initiative

BERLIN (Sputnik) – Germany will give the International Monetary Fund an additional 3 billion euros ($3.4 billion) in funding to help poorer countries deal with the pandemic, the Finance Ministry said.

The pledge was made at Saturday’s virtual meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors attended by Germany’s chief financier Olaf Scholz.

The pledged donation comes on top of the 8.7 billion euros that Germany will disburse to the IMF Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust in 2020-2021.
