Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blasts the IMF''s woke ''mission creep''

[NYPOST] Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ripped the International Monetary Fund on Wednesday for focusing its resources on promoting woke causes instead of economic stability.

Speaking at the Institute of International Finance forum in Washington, DC, Bessent accused the IMF of ''mission creep,'' claiming that the agency ''devotes disproportionate time and resources to work on climate change, gender, and social issues.''

''Focus on these areas is crowding out its work on critical macroeconomic issues,'' Bessent said. ''The IMF has been whistling past the graveyard.''

Papers written by IMF experts voice support for left-leaning causes such as net-zero and carbon taxes. It also takes part in providing data for the controversial global gender inequality index.
