EU misses IMF loan target as UK says now

Описание: http://www.euronews.net/ Britain's refusal to contribute to the IMF for a eurozone bailout fund has left the EU short of its 200 billion euro target.



The UK boycott leaves the eurozone more reliant than ever on major economies such China and on Russia, which are willing to lend more to the IMF.



IMF resources are to be boosted to 150 billion euros to ward off the debt crisis -- with money from the Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland and Sweden.



The United States, meanwhile, has expressed concern about the IMF's exposure to the euro zone.
