NYC, July 13 – When the International Monetary Fund held its embargoed media briefing on July 13, 2023, Inner City Press asked spokesperson Julie Kozack about Kenya - the deadly protests and IMF program, and President William Ruto's critique of the IMF - and about crypto and DAOs in the Marshall Islands and elsewhere. Video here.

  IMF Spokesperson Kozack expressed concern about  the protests; she said Kenya would be taken up by the IMF Board next week. In response to the Ruto question, she ticked off IMF actions from Ukraine to climate, transcript coming.  

On DAOs and crypto and the Marshall Island, she reiterated that the IMF does not favor cryptocurrency as legal tender. We may have more on this.
