论文摘要
在2012年底，国际货币基金组织（IMF）已暂停其对刚果民主共和国（DRC）的财政援助。由于2016年最后一个季度发生的通货膨胀压力，一些决策者呼吁重新开放与IMF进行正式合作。该过程于2019年12月正式完成。政客们对IMF计划的重新启动感到满意，并在媒体上广泛评论。但是，最近的历史表明，刚果民主共和国在2012年至2016年之间取得了出色的经济表现，而没有与IMF进行正式合作。有些人想知道国际货币基金组织的援助是否对接受者国家是诅咒？我们认为，潜在的问题与不接受IMF的协助无关，而与政策制定者建立有效的领导能力和善政为支持结构改革的发展和实施的能力无关。
At the end of 2012 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has suspended its financial assistance to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Due to inflationary pressures which occurred in the last quarter of 2016, several decision-makers called for a reopening of a formal cooperation with the IMF. This process was formally completed in December 2019. The restart of IMF programs was greeted with satisfaction by politicians and widely commented in the media. However, recent history shows that the DRC managed to achieve exceptional economic performance, between 2012 and 2016, without being in a formal cooperation with the IMF. Some people wonder whether IMF assistance is a curse for recipient countries? We argue that the underlying problem has nothing to do with accepting or not the IMF assistance, but rather in the ability of policy makers to establish effective leadership and good governance for the development and implementation supporting structural reforms.
