In brief: IMF praises Brazil’s response to economic impact of Covid-19

* Kristalina Georgieva, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), has said that Brazil took “significant” steps to counter the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, more so than other countries such as Mexico, and that it also benefits from a relatively strong capacity to absorb shocks.
