Telegraph: IMF may need to "print money" as crisis spreads
The Fund is already close to committing a quarter of its $200bn (£130bn) reserve chest, with a loans to Iceland ($2bn), Ukraine ($16.5bn), and talks underway with Pakistan ($14.5bn), Hungary ($10bn), as well as Belarus and Serbia.

And who exactly gives the IMF the authority to erode savings by counterfeiting currency? For all our sakes we need a currency 100% backed by a non-inflatable commodity. Think about it - millions 'lost' in Icelandic banks, levels of indebtedness increasing all the time. Why? How? If you haven’t worked it out by now, there is little hope.
