The country was on the edge of default. The International Monetary Fund’s Emergency Credit Facility and other international aid saved the country. Citizens and the economy followed the IMF austerity policies, which included salary cuts and tax increases until August 2001. People were stressed and depressed. As a result of this, some families were affected by financial difficulties, and jobs were difficult to come by.
