Policy Statement on IMF Technical Assistance by International Monetary Fund Pdf

This chapter presents policy statement on IMF technical assistance (TA) programs. The TA programs provide a cooperative framework for the sharing of knowledge and international experience, in a lasting manner, with member countries. The IMF seeks to provide technical assistance as efficiently and effectively as possible in its core substantive areas of competency namely macroeconomic policy formulation and management among others. Technical assistance is provided in a variety of forms. These include IMF staff missions from headquarters; the placement of experts for periods ranging from a few months to a few years. Technical assistance is provided only when requested by a country's authorities. Since the demand for such assistance normally exceeds the resources available from the IMF, a number of considerations are considered in prioritizing country requests. The IMF encourages member countries who have not yet done so to consider providing such complementary financial support to enhance the resources available for technical assistance, preferably in a manner that is as unrestricted as possible.

IMF Technical Assistance by International Monetary Fund Pdf

This pamphlet focuses on the Technical Assistance Program of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It is part of a series that aims to describe key aspects of the activities and policies of the IMF for the general public. Providing technical assistance to member countries particularly developing countries and countries in transition7is among the IMF's most important jobs. Yet this major component of our work is relatively unknown to the public at large. While the IMF's lending in support of policy programs in crisis countries captures the world's headlines, its technical assistance rarely does so, although it plays a vital role in laying foundations for stronger economies and for a better future for the people of many countries of the world. The technical assistance provided by the IMF, which includes training for government and central bank officials, is recognized as an important benefit of IMF membership. It is provided mainly in the IMF's core areas of responsibility and expertise public finance, central banking, economic and financial statistics, and related legal matters. IMF staff, together with experts from member countries, share with member governments and central banks approaches for improving the design and implementation of economic policy, as well as for building up local expertise and helping develop stronger institutions, with the aim of enhancing economic policy management.

The types of assistance provided, typically in the fields of central banking, fiscal matters, and economic and financial statistics, reflect this link.

International Monetary Fund Annual Report 2016 Financial Statements by International Monetary Fund Pdf

This paper outlines that the IMF is exposed to various types of operational and financial risks, including credit, market, liquidity, and income risks. The Executive Board of the IMF has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the IMF’s risk management framework. The risk management framework encompasses primarily strategic, financial, and operational risks. As part of this framework, the Advisory Committee on Risk Management (ACRM) has been established to analyze, synthesize, and report on risks. Credit risk on credit outstanding refers to potential losses owing to the failure of member countries to make repurchases. Credit risk is inherent in the IMF's unique role in the international monetary system since the IMF has limited ability to diversify its loan portfolio and generally provides financing when other sources are not available to a member. Measures to help mitigate the IMF's credit risk include policies on access limits, program design, monitoring, and economic policies that members agree to follow as a condition for IMF financing; early repurchase policies; and preventative, precautionary, remedial measures and precautionary balances to cope with the financial consequences of protracted arrears.

Key Aspects of Macroprudential Policy - Background Paper by International Monetary Fund. Fiscal Affairs Dept.,International Monetary Fund. Monetary and Capital Markets Department Pdf

The countercyclical capital buffer (CCB) was proposed by the Basel committee to increase the resilience of the banking sector to negative shocks. The interactions between banking sector losses and the real economy highlight the importance of building a capital buffer in periods when systemic risks are rising. Basel III introduces a framework for a time-varying capital buffer on top of the minimum capital requirement and another time-invariant buffer (the conservation buffer). The CCB aims to make banks more resilient against imbalances in credit markets and thereby enhance medium-term prospects of the economy—in good times when system-wide risks are growing, the regulators could impose the CCB which would help the banks to withstand losses in bad times.
