NYC July 9 รข€“ After the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in USA, the International Monetary Fund warned of more trouble, just as NYCB teetered. Inner City Press on March 7, 2024 asked the IMF about it, video here.  

  On July 9, Inner City Press asked the IMF Spokesperson about, among other things, a possible ECF program with Malawi, and doubts there about subsidy cuts. Spokesperson Julie Kozack said the talks are continuing, including by the new Africa Divison Director Zeina Zeidane in a meeting in Banjul, the Gambia on July 8. Video of Q&A on IMF's website.

  [In a written answer an IMF Spokesperson answered another Inner City Press question with this: "The GENIUS Act (passed in July 2025) and CLARITY Act, which has passed the House and is awaiting a Senate vote, in the US provides a foundation for blockchain-based innovation while potentially safeguarding consumer protection and market integrity. It will be important to monitor carefully the ongoing rulemaking and the impact of the legislation on the global role of the US dollar and potential spillovers to other jurisdictions."]

  Back on April 14, 2026, Inner City Press at the IMF's Spring Meetings asked Tobias Adrian about Anthropic's Mythos and the danger posed - what guidance if any does the IMF, which has had so many opinions on crypto at least to El Salvador, have on this one?

  Adrian said the IMF has been working on this for some time.

On June 4, Inner City Press at the IMF's biweekly press briefing citing Tobias Andrian's answer asked out developments since the Spring Meeting, including a bill pending in Congress, the Executive Order, and more. The spokesperson referred Inner City Press to Adrian's new blog, here. We'll have more on this.
