Ms. Public has little to say in things requiring international coordination (and G7 won't do here, Mr Brown - see the Simon Johnson's interview:...
Point taken. But you see, the IMF editors/moderators turned out to be rather selective... With the 95%+ rejection rates in mind, I submitted...

After receiving plenty of feedback from the trading community (thank you all), and having finally located the primary source of the $150bn figure...
