Not exactly.
"According to a Russian IMF representative, BRICS is ready to offer an alternative to the US Dollar..."
Nothing in that article, so far as I can tell, indicates that the IMF said anything that resembles what the title claims.
Opening para says "amid the currency’s collapse"
"Prepare for US Dollar Collapse, IMF Warns"
IMF didn't make that statement yet the title appears to credit them.
A Russian representative made that statement. He happens to also be a member of the IMF.
They lead the reader to believe that the IMF made the statement while using the Russian representatives membership status to bolster the claim.
The reality is that the representative made that statement independent of the IMF as a body.
Article title is misleading at best. Outright fabricating at worst.
"IMF as a body" - WTF are you talking about? If an anchor on CNN/Fox says something wouldn't we say CNN/Fox said it? When one works for an organization and makes a claim, pretty much everyone takes it as the organization made that claim and its been in most articles, this one is no different. You must be a special seed to believe it otherwise and all articles are jokes to you.
That's funny.
I would read the article again if I were you. Carefully.
The fact is that not even the Russian IMF rep makes that statement. Out of that 5 paragraph anemic, void of data, article that you posted a link to, here is the only statements attributed to that Russian IMF representative.
Not a single time did he mention to "prepare for the dollar collapse" even if we are going to take his words as speaking for the organization.
He is speaking of the BRICS preparation "in the event" of a dollar collapse to have a currency that the IMF can use as a replacement.
That does not mean it is happening or that the IMF is preparing for that to happen.
You have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen IN THE EVENT a fire happens. That is not saying that a fire IS happening.
Here why don't you try posting data that people can analyze and make a decision for themselves with and not some shotty 5 paragraph article void of data written by an author full of assumption.
Here is the IMF on the same day speaking on that subject directly from their website chalk full of data sets and analysis. THIS we can attribute directly to the IMF.

Maybe you should take a break from reading your buddy clandestine. It's starting to rub off on you.
