Nine things to know about Greece’s IMF debt default
In a recent commentary article for The Conversation, Dr André Broome explains the political and economic consequences of Greece defaulting on its IMF loan after missing its scheduled repayment on June 30. As Dr Broome points out, this is the first time an advanced economy has ever defaulted on its financial obligations to the IMF, and will make it difficult, if not impossible, for Greece to continue to cooperate with its international creditors regardless of the result of its bailout referedum on July 5.
