About us
The International Monetary Fund has a key position in promoting the health of the world economy. Established in 1944 as a part of the United Nations system, the IMF's primary purpose is to ensure the stability of the international monetary system—the system of exchange rates and international payments that enables countries and their citizens to buy goods and services from each other. This is essential for sustainable economic growth and rising living standards. To maintain stability and prevent crises in the international monetary system, the IMF conducts surveillance of national, regional, and global economic and financial developments. It provides advice to its 190 member countries, encouraging them to adopt policies that foster economic stability, reduce their vulnerability to economic and financial crises, and raise living standards. The IMF also serves as a forum where its global membership can discuss the national, regional, and global consequences of their policies. The IMF makes financing temporarily available to member countries to help them address balance of payments problems—that is, when they find themselves short of foreign exchange to meet their payments to other countries. Finally, the IMF provides countries with training to help them build the expertise and institutions they need for economic stability and growth. Supporting all of these activities is the institution's work in economic research and statistics.

Our latest outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa spotlights the region’s resilience, despite a challenging external environment. Growth remains steady at 4.1 percent in 2025, with a modest pickup in 2026. Several economies, including Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Uganda—continue to rank among the world’s fastest growing. The region has shown resilience in the face of global uncertainty, tighter borrowing conditions, and reduced aid flows. To safeguard stability and fund essential development needs, our report highlights two urgent priorities: Strengthen domestic revenue mobilization through better tax administration and targeted policy reforms. Enhance debt transparency and public financial management to reduce borrowing costs, improve investor confidence, and support sustainable growth. These reforms are critical to ensuring governments can deliver services, protect vulnerable populations, and create space for long-term development.

International Monetary Fund reposted this
🤝 Capacity development work of the International Monetary Fund has just received a major boost! Germany will contribute a total of EUR 17.5 million to support the IMF’s capacity development work, recognizing its critical role in strengthening macroeconomic stability, enhancing policy implementation, boosting domestic resource mobilization and promoting inclusive growth. During the IMF’s Annual Meetings, Lars Klingbeil, Vice Chancellor and Federal Minister of Finance, and Reem Alabali Radovan, Federal Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany, signed an agreement with Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the IMF. All underlined that this new contribution reflects Germany’s and IMF’s shared commitment to strengthening global economic resilience. Specifically, Germany will contribute: ➡️ EUR 7.5 million (2025-2028) from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development towards mutually agreed IMF Regional Capacity Development Centers serving countries in Africa and the MENA region. ➡️ EUR 5 million (2025-2028) from the Federal Ministry of Finance will support the Financial Sector Stability Fund. ➡️ EUR 5 million (2026-2029) from the Federal Ministry of Finance will support the Anti-Money Laundering & Combating Financing of Terrorism fund. This contribution reaffirms Germany’s long-standing partnership with the IMF and its commitment to advancing the Seville Commitments. At a time of global uncertainty, Germany’s leadership sends a powerful message: investing in economic and financial institutions is investing in stability! #IMFMeetings

Growth in emerging and developing economies (EMDEs) is projected at 4.2% in 2025 and 4.0% in 2026. The resilience recently shown by many EMDEs may be tested as high debt becomes harder to service amid more challenging external conditions. https://lnkd.in/d2Q6SwrT

Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean is projected to remain steady in 2025 and moderate slightly next year amid slow disinflation. Rising public debt underscores the need for fiscal consolidation, and solid policy frameworks remain essential. Stable growth is supported by labor markets and exports. Inflation is gradually converging to targets but is not there yet in a few countries. Public debt continues to rise. Medium-term growth remains lackluster. To further strengthen resilience, governments must advance the needed fiscal consolidation and stay committed to strong monetary policy frameworks. Lifting medium-term growth will require taking advantage of further trade integration and boosting productivity through reforms that improve resource allocation and create incentives for firms to grow.
