  How can theIMF help in crisis? When a country imports more than it exports, it has a “trade deficit.“ It can cause foreign exchange shortages. The international monetary fund help member countries cope with foreign exchange shortages caused by balance of payments problems Dropping Exports Threaten an Indian Economy Every year the country borrows more money from foreign banks and friendly governments to finance a growing volume of imports. The value of imports now far exceeds exports. So there isn’t enough foreign exchange to pay the debt and buy the imports.
