Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. A viral YouTube video post claiming that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forced President Prabowo Subianto into accepting a large, high-interest loan that threatens to trigger a national monetary crisis is false.

The misleading video headline claimed that the IMF coerced the Indonesian head of state overnight into agreeing to severe high-interest credit terms.

Fact-checking investigations published by TurnBackHoax on Sunday (11/10/2026)) confirmed that the claims are baseless. The IMF operates under strict institutional procedures where financial assistance packages are provided solely upon explicit requests and approvals initiated by member states, making forced lending impossible.

Further analysis of the video content revealed that the clip merely discussed discussions surrounding the replacement of former Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa and analyzed media commentary regarding Indonesia's reputation following previous rejections of IMF loan offers, completely contradicting the video's sensationalized title.
