End surcharges campaign

CSOs call on the IMF to end harmful surcharges

MENA Fem, CEPR, Bretton Woods Project, Eurodad, Latindadd, alongside with 540 signatories from CSOs around the world, have sent a letter this Wednesday to the IMF Executive Board, calling for a review of surcharge policies. This collective plea emphasizes the urgent need to reconsider the impact of surcharges on heavily indebted nations and their ability to address pressing global challenges. With an increasing number of countries facing the burden of surcharges, the letter underscores the importance of equitable multilateralism and sustainable global development.

Read the full letter in English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, and Ukrainian:

Dear members of the IMF Executive Board,

 

At last year’s Annual Meetings, Chair of the International Monetary and Financial Committee Ms. Nadia Calviño stated that the Fund “will consider a review of surcharge policies.” As the 2024 Spring Meetings approach, it is our understanding that the Executive Board plans to make good on this commitment, and will soon hold discussions to determine the future of this controversial policy.

 

We are encouraged by these signs, and appreciate the Fund’s willingness to engage with this longstanding   demand from a large majority of IMF’s shareholders, academics and civil society. Now, we, the undersigned organizations, write to urge you to use this opportunity to put an end to this harmful and counterproductive surcharge policy once and for all.

 

The case against surcharges has been made many times before. This policy — which levies additional fees of up to 300 basis points on countries with high or longstanding levels of outstanding credit — is plainly procyclical. By punishing heavily indebted countries with additional debt, surcharges increase borrowing costs; exacerbate (rather than alleviate) onerous debt burdens; and divert valuable resources from investments in development, climate action, health, or education. The surcharges policy therefore contributes to the trends of increased  social and political unrest recognised by the Fund as a risk to the global economy. It also disregards warnings about the urgent need for a more legitimate and equitable multilateral system in the UN Secretary General’s New Agenda for Peace.

 

From 2019 to 2023, the number of countries paying surcharges doubled from 8 to 16. This year, that number has jumped to 22.* This alarming trajectory is likely to continue as more and more countries resort to the Fund for financing in the face of accelerating debt and climate crises.

 

The IMF has yet to provide any evidence that surcharges disincentivize reliance on IMF credit. Indeed, the growing number of countries subject to surcharges is evidence to the contrary. The other justification for surcharges — that they are a necessary source of income for the IMF’s precautionary balances — is not only directly counter to the IMF’s mission, as Nobel Laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz has pointed out, but is also inaccurate.  

 

Since civil society first began raising concerns, opposition to the Fund’s surcharge policy has expanded considerably. The G77 and China, representing nearly every nation in the Global South, G20 chair Lula da Silva, UN human rights experts, leading economists, the UN Global Crisis Response Group, UN Secretary-General António Guterres, dozens of former heads of state and government, hundreds of civil society organizations, and many more, have all called on the Fund to suspend or eliminate surcharges.

 

As the burden of surcharges and global demands to end them both continue to grow, it is clear that this path is not sustainable. It is no longer a question of whether to end this unjust and unjustifiable policy, but when. We urge you to act now.

 

Sincerely,

*The 22 countries now paying surcharges are: Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Barbados, Benin, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Ecuador, Egypt, Gabon, Georgia, Jordan, Kenya, Moldova, Mongolia, North Macedonia, Pakistan, Senegal, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, and Ukraine.

أعزائي أعضاء المجلس التنفيذي لصندوق النقد الدولي،

في الاجتماعات السنوية  للعام الماضي، ذكرت رئيسة اللجنة النقدية والمالية الدولية السيدة نادية كالفينيو أن الصندوق “سوف ينظر في مراجعة سياسات الرسوم الإضافية”. ومع اقتراب اجتماعات الربيع لسنة 2024، نفهم أن المجلس التنفيذي يخطط للوفاء بهذا الالتزام، وسيعقد قريبًا مناقشات لتحديد مستقبل هذه السياسة المثيرة للجدل.

وتشجعنا هذه البوادر، ونقدر استعداد الصندوق للتعامل مع هذا الطلب الطويل الأمد من أغلبية كبيرة من المساهمين في صندوق النقد الدولي والأكاديميين والمجتمع المدني. والآن، نحن، المنظمات الموقعة أدناه، نكتب إليكم لنحثكم على اغتنام هذه الفرصة لوضع حد لسياسة الرسوم الإضافية الضارة والتي تؤدي إلى نتائج عكسية مرة واحدة وإلى الأبد.

وقد تم رفع القضية ضد الرسوم الإضافية عدة مرات من قبل. ومن الواضح أن هذه السياسة ــ التي تفرض رسوماً إضافية تصل إلى 300 نقطة أساس على البلدان التي تتمتع بمستويات عالية أو طويلة الأمد من الائتمان المستحق ــ مسايرة للدورة الاقتصادية. ومن خلال معاقبة البلدان المثقلة بالديون بديون إضافية، تؤدي الرسوم الإضافية إلى زيادة تكاليف الاقتراض؛ وتفاقم أعباء الديون المرهقة (بدلاً من التخفيف) ؛ وتحويل الموارد القيمة من الاستثمارات في التنمية، أو العمل المناخي، أو الصحة، أو التعليم. وبالتالي فإن سياسة الرسوم الإضافية تساهم في زيادة الاضطرابات الاجتماعية والسياسية التي يعتبرها الصندوق خطرا على الاقتصاد العالمي. كما أنها تتجاهل التحذيرات بشأن الحاجة الملحة إلى نظام متعدد الأطراف أكثر شرعية وإنصافاً في الأجندة الجديدة للسلام التي وضعها الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة.

وفي الفترة من 2019 إلى 2023، تضاعف عدد البلدان التي تدفع رسوما إضافية من 8 إلى 16. وهذا العام، قفز هذا العدد إلى 22.* ومن المرجح أن يستمر هذا الاتجاه المثير للقلق مع لجوء المزيد والمزيد من البلدان إلى الصندوق للحصول على التمويل  لمواجهة الأزمة في ظل تسارع أزمات الديون والمناخ.

كما انه لم يقدم صندوق النقد الدولي حتى الآن أي دليل على أن الرسوم الإضافية تثبط الاعتماد على ائتمان صندوق النقد الدولي. والواقع أن العدد المتزايد من البلدان الخاضعة للرسوم الإضافية دليل على عكس ذلك. أما المبرر الآخر للرسوم الإضافية ــ كونها مصدرا ضروريا للدخل للأرصدة الاحترازية لصندوق النقد الدولي ــ فلا يتعارض بشكل مباشر مع مهمة صندوق النقد الدولي فحسب، كما أشار له الخبير الاقتصادي جوزيف ستيجليتز الحائز على جائزة نوبل، ولكنه أيضا غير دقيق.

ومنذ بدأ المجتمع المدني في إثارة المخاوف لأول مرة، توسعت المعارضة لسياسة الرسوم الإضافية التي فرضها الصندوق بشكل كبير. مجموعة الـ 77 والصين، التي تمثل كل دولة تقريبًا في الجنوب العالمي، ورئيس مجموعة العشرين لولا دا سيلفا، وخبراء حقوق الإنسان في الأمم المتحدة، وكبار الاقتصاديين، ومجموعة الأمم المتحدة للاستجابة للأزمات العالمية، والأمين العام للأمم المتحدة أنطونيو غوتيريس، وعشرات من رؤساء الدول والحكومات السابقين، والمئات من منظمات المجتمع المدني، وغيرها الكثير، قد دعت الصندوق إلى تعليق أو إلغاء الرسوم الإضافية.

ومع استمرار تزايد عبء الرسوم الإضافية والمطالبات العالمية بإنهائها، فمن الواضح أن هذا المسار غير مستدام. ولم تعد المسألة ما إذا كان ينبغي إنهاء هذه السياسة الظالمة وغير المبررة، بل متى. نحن نحثكم على التصرف الآن.

مع فائق الاحترام والتقدير،

*الدول الـ 22 التي تدفع الآن الرسوم الإضافية هي: أنجولا، الأرجنتين، أرمينيا، بربادوس، بنين، كوستاريكا، كوت ديفوار، الإكوادور، مصر، الجابون، جورجيا، الأردن، كينيا، مولدوفا، منغوليا، مقدونيا الشمالية، باكستان، السنغال، سيشيل وسريلانكا وتونس وأوكرانيا.
