The IMF will sharpen its risk analysis and focus more on linkages between the financial sector and the real economy as well as cross-country analysis as part of a new set of priorities for its surveillance of the global and national economies.
The IMF's Executive Board agreed the new priorities as part of a major review of the IMF's surveillance work which is an essential part of the Fund's mandate to promote international monetary and financial stability.
The statement lays out economic priorities that reflect the key challenges to external stability facing IMF membership and that surveillance should help address. It also sets operational priorities that identify concrete actions the IMF should take to address these key challenges and provide a clear benchmark to monitor performance.
