The Monetarists bankroll her good intentions, when they don't have to. I think the Monetarists are patriots in their own way, and look out for the long term health of Ul'dah. I hope Lolorito gets some redemption down the line, I think he's a deeper character than we've seen so far.
That's all well and good, but if they were in charge, would they help, independent of the Sultana's good intentions? Or would they just do the bare minimum and continue furthering their own goals? Just because they're funding the Sultana's efforts now doesn't mean they would inherit her goodwill later.
There's no guarantee they'd support the refugees in the long term. Maintain the nation? Yeah, probably. But only insofar as it helps them to stay in power. I just don't see the monetarists - Lolorito included - going the extra mile.
Yes, but why should they?
Ala Mhigo was an enemy within living memory, the Shroud turned them away, Ul'dah didn't.
If I was a monetarist I certainly wouldn't think I had any obligation to spill out my profits on my prior enemies. I think they can see that the stability of supporting them is better than the chaos of them rioting though.
