Yeah. But for a US audience, I think it's fair to call the whole thing "IMF" - that's the part that the US is directly responsible for. The Obama Administration is currently trying to get Congress to fork over more money for the IMF, and whenever Democratic Administrations are trying to get Congress to fork over more money for the IMF they always pretend that the IMF is "foreign assistance," so this is a particularly good time to remind people in the U.S. what the IMF actually is.
