IMF Board Endorses Implementation Plan In Response To Institutional Safeguards Review

Date 16/12/2022

The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund today endorsed an Implementation Plan to further strengthen the institution’s framework of institutional governance and analytical integrity. The Implementation Plan responds to the Institutional Safeguards Review, which the Executive Board completed on June 30, 2022. The Review found that the Fund’s safeguards mechanisms are generally robust, and identified several areas in which the data and analytical integrity frameworks could be further bolstered, and the smooth and effective functioning of the Fund’s system for internal disputes could be strengthened. The Board and Management committed to developing an action plan to guide implementation of the Review’s recommendations by the end of 2022. The plan discussed at the Board today reflects consultations with, and contributions from a wide range of stakeholders, including IMF staff, and reflects a consensus-based approach by the Board Steering Group and Management.
