Before introducing the report, I would like to address the House on the global health crisis the world is facing, a crisis far graver than what we have seen. COVID-19 has impacted nearly every country in the world, however due to His Majesty’s farsighted leadership our nation is able to successfully prevent COVID-19 taking tolls on Bhutanese lives. During the national address on National Resilience Fund delivered on 10th April, 2020, His Majesty commanded that, “in times of normal conditions, while making national choices, we must carefully examine and weigh the difference between sufficiency and insufficiency, the important and the unimportant, benefits and costs by deliberating over long-term rather than short-term interests.

Created in 1945, the IMF is governed by and accountable to the 189 countries that make up its near-global membership. The IMF's primary purpose is to ensure the stability of the international monetary system—the system of exchange rates and international payments that enables countries (and their citizens) to transact with each other. The Fund's mandate was updated in 2012 to include all macroeconomic and financial sector issues that bear on global stability. Fast Facts • Membership : 189 countries • Headquarters : Washington, D.C. • Executive Board : 24 Directors each representing a single country or groups of countries • The largest borrowers : Argentina, Ukraine, Greece, Egypt • The largest precautionary loans : Mexico, Colombia, Morocco Primary aims of IMF to: • Promote international monetary cooperation; • Facilitate the expansion and balanced growth of international trade; • Promote exchange stability; • Assist in the establishment of a multilateral system of payments; and • Make resources available (with adequate safeguards) to members experiencing balance-of- payments difficulties. Current Affairs 3 IMF in News Economic recovery for India in 2020-21: IMF The International Monetary Fund, which sharply cut India's growth rate, has projected a recovery in 2020-21, as per the statement of IMF’s Chief Economist Gita Gopinath during the news conference in Davos for the release of the World Economic Outlook (WEO) update on January 20, 2020.

  • Mps Choose Party Event Over Parliament Duty October 7, 2020
    MPs choose party event over Parliament duty October 7, 2020 MB Subba Speaker Wangchuk Namgyel is known to be strict with the proceedings of Parliament and a no- nonsense Speaker when it comes to Parliament issues. He has made this known to Members of Parliament after most of them missed an important meeting. A presentation of the annual audit report 2019 by Royal Audit Authority (RAA) was scheduled in the afternoon of October 5. It coincided with the introduction of Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa’s candidate for the Chhokhor-Tang bye-election. Astonishingly about 17 ruling party MPs, including four ministers that were in Thimphu, chose to attend the candidate launch over the audit meeting. In total, about 12 National Assembly members attended the meeting. But only two of them—the Speaker and Tashichhoeling MP Dil Maya Rai who attended the meeting as a member of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC)—were from the 30-member strong Ruling Party. Ten MPs from the 16-member Opposition Party attended the meeting, which is conducted annually by the PAC for MPs to clarify doubts and queries with RAA officials on irregularities reported in ministries and agencies. It was learnt that some of the MPs failed to turn up despite being within Thimphu without official duty. The lack of interest in the meeting from the MPs has come at a time when some people are questioning what they are up to in the Covid-19 pandemic. Speaker Wangchuk Namgyel said all the MPs were invited for the meeting while three were either on leave or official tours.
