IMF wants to double its lending ability from $250 billion to $500 billion. To achieve that, IMF is finalzing a $100 billion loan from Japan and is planning to issue bonds.
The Japanese loan would be structured in a way similar to two IMF programmes called the General Arrangements to Borrow and the New Arrangments to Borrow, which provide $50 billion in additional funding if the IMF runs through its $200 billion core financing.
