RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad announced Monday that Palestine has joined an IMF initiative to disseminate statistics to the public.

Palestine became a member of the Special Data Dissemination Standard, or SDDS, on April 19, becoming the fifth Arab state to join after Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan.

SDDS is a standard by the International Monetary Fund to guide countries in the dissemination of national statistics to the public.

Palestine's membership, listed as the West Bank and Gaza, indicates the maturity of PA institutions, Fayyad said.

A total of 70 other countries are members of the SDDS.

Fayyad thanked the national committee for its work in achieving such an accomplishment.

The team which worked on the project was led by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics and assisted by the PA ministry of finance, the Palestinian Monetary Fund and the Palestinian Stock Exchange.

That is SO Zionist of Fayyad,but not surprising,considering he's already subjugated himself to Israel,for perks &a velvet-wrapped SHACKLE of servitude(Mossad's best)! Why on earth would the PA hand over their economic affairs to an IMF(International Mother F****rs)run by economic terrorist-USURERS,who control thru' economic indentured SERVITUDE! And, you don't fly the Palestinian NATIONAL flag,at SDDS,&call it "West Bank &Gaza". That's AUTHENTICATING Israel's ILLEGAL occupation & CONTROL!

Why pick a title like "Palestine becomes member of IMF body",
when really Palestine has JUST "joined an IMF initiative
to disseminate statistics to the public" and nothing more !!!

If the PLO leaders had NOT "subjugate themselves to Israel",
then they would still be a "government in absentia", because
it was ONLY be signing the Oslo Accords, that BOTH:
- Israel allowed the PLO leaders to return from Tunisia to the West Bank,
and to setup & build a government in Ramallah, and
- the PLO awarded Israel military control of Area B, and full control
(military & administrative) in 60% of the West Bank's Area C !!!
