Implicaciones de los acuerdos del Fondo Monetario Internacional sobre la pobreza en Colombia

Abstract

This paper analyzes the implications of International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreements on poverty in Colombia. It is shown that during the interventions the fund associated poverty only, with insufficient income, hence their interventions did not reduce the uncertainty of the poor; And although the poverty indicators improved, it is argued that the real possibilities and capacities of the poor did not improve. In order to demonstrate this, it is based on a definition of poverty and the principles underlying the raison d'être of the international organization under study, as well as the aspects that involve uncertainty, as an edge that clarifies that the interventions of the institution increased poverty to Guarantee the profitability of capital.
