What We Do
Serve as a global hub for knowledge on economic and financial issues
Share this knowledge with countries, helping to build effective policies and institutions
The IMF helps countries:
- Raise public revenues
- Modernize banking systems
- Advise on legal frameworks
- Enhance the reporting of macroeconomic and financial statistics
- Improve economic analysis and forecasting
How We Work
The IMF shares its knowledge with government institutions such as finance ministries and central banks through hands-on advice, training and peer-to-peer learning.
This is delivered to countries via:
- Expert advice delivered in-country and from headquarters
- Regional capacity development centers
- In-person and online training
Our Partners
