I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but no country that falls into the category of "needing IMF and the World Bank" is one that has negative rates. It's usually the opposite. In general, negative rates mean there's too much capital in your economy as opposed to too little, coupled with too few investment opportunities.
The majority of economies in this situation are facing demographic challenges and the prospect of large population declines, which would (correctly) preclude investors from funding new production capacity.
