Was reminded of the IMF loan to Iceland during the 2008 recession, here is a Q and A on the circumstances of the loan. When the “problem” is caused by neo-liberalism there is a different tone.
“Bank supervision and regulation will also be overhauled to make sure a banking crisis of this magnitude never happens again.”
“We are not telling Iceland to tighten its belt in the middle of a recession. During the first year of the program, automatic fiscal stabilizers will be allowed to work.”
but also, more neo-liberalism down the line:
“The IMF will help Iceland restructure the banks within this broad framework. The strategy includes plans for valuation of the assets of both new and old banks in line with international best practice, compensation from the new banks to the old banks for any discrepancy in the fair value of assets and liabilities taken over, recapitalizing the new banks with the aim of eventually privatizing them, and maximizing asset recovery in the old banks.”

a little recap, the IDF did a rescue operation where they brazenly broke the Geneva convention and managed to kill about 200 people to save 4 people who had been abducted/rescued by Hamas from a music festival where the IDF killed about 300 people
