This is indeed a very big deal. Normally it would be relatively ho hum, but there's still a lot of economic trouble in the world and the IMF is involved in trying to solve it. So anything which might adversely affect it's ability to function is legitimate news.
But, I'm not sure that it's really appropriate to this particular topic.
