You guys are not alone. Two examples of how you are not alone on your lack of knowledge:


The Economist: economist.com

"...But two things were surprising about the new loan. The first was its size: it is the largest ever made by the IMF, even bigger those made to Asian countries in 1997 and 1998..."

No it is not the largest ever. The Economist made a USD11billion error. Just look here.

bradynet.com

" Here is a chronology of events leading up to Friday's announcement by the International Monetary Fund of a $41 billion-plus package for Brazil to help Latin America's largest economy survive global financial turmoil..."

The USD30billion of last week is on top of USD41billion of 1999.

When the Economist show this level of ignorance, I have to forgive you guys on this thread.
