IMF may creat short-term credit facility for countries facing shocks

This started to leak out over the weekend and it looks like it may be unveiled at theG20 summit.

Countries would be able to borrow 5 times their IMF quota.

The line is suitable for smaller borrowers, according to a Bloomberg story. Not sure if that means smaller countries or countries that need less cash than the likes of Greece who are shut-out of markets.

EUR/USD was unable to hold its gains above 1.3700 and has slipped back to the 1.3680s.
