If you are discussing politics, whether global, regional, or local, and you do not know what the IMF is and what it does; you should stop talking. The International Monetary Fund is one of the most powerful institutions in the world; you have to familiarize yourself with it, and with the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, and other major forces in global affairs before you can even approach discussing political issues in an informed way.
It would be like someone talking about diet without knowing what calories are; or like proposing how to fix a car engine while you only know about tires.
