IMF:
International Monetary Fund -- an international organization which makes loans
to maintain financial stability. The IMF makes loans to governments not to
other institutions [ed.: as far as I know]. The IMF's objectives have to do
with minimizing the damage of financial crises, not to have an effect on
economic growth. The IMF has a substantial web site and supports its own
research department. See http://www.imf.org.
