MISSISSAUGA, Ontario - s4story -- A major forensic report published this week by PowerAfrika argues that the International Monetary Fund's lending programmes create permanent dependency across sub-Saharan Africa.

The report, "The Bailout Trap: How the IMF Manufactures Permanent Dependency," cross-references IMF transcripts, OECD data, and 40 years of structural adjustment evidence. Its central finding: 27 of 45 sub-Saharan nations are currently under IMF-supported programmes with no exit pathway.

Key evidence cited in the report includes:
- Bilateral aid to Africa collapsed by up to 28% in 2025, pushing more governments toward IMF loans.

- The Fund calls itself "the world's crisis fighter," yet has never graduated a single African nation from dependency.
- The same austerity, liberalisation, and privatisation conditions imposed today are identical to those imposed during the failed Structural Adjustment era.

"The IMF is not a crisis fighter," the prosecution concludes. "It is a crisis manager — and its business model requires permanent crisis."
