米雷特·马格迪（Mirette Magdy）与豪尔赫利娜·多罗萨里奥（Jorgelina do Rosario）报道称，国际货币基金组织负责人表示，伊拉克已就一项新项目向这家总部位于华盛顿的借贷机构接洽，她表示该基金组织计划支持这一请求。
By Mirette Magdy and Jorgelina do Rosario The head of the IMF said that Iraq has approached the Washington-based lender for a new program, a request she said the fund intends to support.
“我们将向伊拉克提供资金和政策支持，”总裁克里斯塔利娜·格奥尔基耶娃（Kristalina Georgieva）于周六在国际货币基金组织于曼谷举行的年会结束时表示。“当局请求了一个项目，我们将非常坚定地支持伊拉克。”伊拉克是受伊朗战争影响而陷入困境的几个国家之一，特别是由于霍尔木兹海峡近乎关闭而导致石油出口收入受损。
“We will get to Iraq both money and policy support,” Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said at the conclusion of the International Monetary Fund’s annual meetings in Bangkok Saturday. “The authorities requested a program, and we will support Iraq very firmly.”Iraq is among several countries struggling with the impact of the war on Iran, particularly lost revenue from oil exports impacted by the near-closure of the Strait or Hormuz.
基金组织负责人格奥尔基耶娃没有提供有关项目类型或国际货币基金组织将提供多少资金的细节。有关可能获得国际货币基金组织和世界银行援助的非正式会谈大约在4月的春季会议期间启动。
Georgieva didn’t provide details on the type of program or how much financing the IMF will provide. Informal talks with Iraq about possible IMF, World Bank assistance kicked off around April spring meetings.
格奥尔基耶娃还重申，该基金组织在针对黎巴嫩的一个潜在新项目上取得了“重大进展”。
Georgieva also reiterated that the fund has made “significant progress” on a potential new program for Lebanon.
她使用中东和北非的英文缩写表示：“对我们而言，最重要的任务是认识到中东和北非地区的分化，并将我们的努力集中在更加脆弱的国家上。从这个意义上说，一个针对伊拉克的项目、一个针对黎巴嫩的项目将大有助益。”她补充说，海湾阿拉伯国家合作委员会成员国已经坚决实施了改革，这使得它们能够增加收入，以“缓冲冲击对它们造成的影响”。
“The most important task for us is to recognize that divergence in the MENA region and concentrate our efforts on the countries that are more vulnerable,” she said, using shorthand for Middle East and North Africa. “In that sense, a program for Iraq, a program for Lebanon would go a long way.”She added that Gulf Cooperation Council countries have managed to firmly implement reforms, which has allowed them to build up revenues to “cushion the impact of the shock that has affected them.
