IMF Timeline

A Halting Recovery

Adapting surveillance to evolving global challenges

A core responsibility of the IMF is to oversee the international monetary system and monitor the economic and financial policies of its 190 member countries, an activity known as surveillance. As part of this process, which takes place at the global, regional, and country levels, the IMF identifies potential risks to stability and recommends appropriate policy adjustments needed to sustain economic growth and promote financial and economic stability.

IMF Surveillance

The IMF assists countries hit by crises by providing them financial support to create breathing room as they implement adjustment policies to restore economic stability and growth. It also provides precautionary financing to help prevent and insure against crises. The IMF’s lending toolkit is continuously refined to meet countries’ changing needs.

The Fund’s actions are focused on the following tracks: 1. Emergency financing 2. Grants for debt relief 3. Calls for bilateral debt relief 4. Enhancing liquidity 5. Adjusting existing lending arrangements
