El fondo Monetario Internacional se resiste a morir. En la cumbre del G20-2009, el FMI cuadriplicó su capacidad financiera. Además se le encargó supervisar a los países, si están estimulando sus economías y si están reformando su regulación financiera. Cerca de US$500.000 millones serán destinados para rescatar a las economías en problemas. Sobretodo para los países en vías de desarrollo de Europa del Este y de Latinoamérica. México ha solicitado una línea de crédito precautoria por un valor de US$47.000 millones.
