IMF Creates $100 Billion Fund to Aid Crisis Fight without the strings that normally are attached to IMF loans. They are also keeping the results private so as not to induce panic or discourage participation. This is in addition to loans to developing economies made by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday. I’d also like to note that some quick research shows that the US spent about $450 billion on interest last year and has almost $1.5 trillion in debt maturing in one year or less (T-bills) putting us at roughly 15% on the above chart, not far behind Turkey.
