Trying to read the reports on their website is pretty dense. Although some lines sound like the same old neo-lib reforms:

"Working closely with the IMF, we are helping countries manage public debt better, make key reforms in financial management, and identify opportunities for green growth and low-carbon development as they rebuild."

But has anyone heard or seen any good takes? There seems to be a reasonable amount of talk of stimulus spending, but is this all just marketing?
