Yeah, I can see how you could frame it that way. But there is some basic context that is missing. Most policies used by the IMF are a result of a developing economy (country) wanting to be competitve on the international level and trade more. These loans are based on policies that dont work and are designed to put those countries into a form of servitude by struggling to repay debts (see import substitution).
Another method is to build infrastructure and make it impossible to pay back the interest. The IMF works in concert with the World Bank.
This model of manipulation is the way you rule the empire now. Why fight wars that arent profitable when you can manipulate economies on a macro level.
