Summary: The IMF is in the process of revising its 2001 Code of Good Practices on Fiscal Transparency.

However, the document has been updated and broadened to reflect recent developments and practices. The IMF is requesting public comment on the proposed revised Code. The deadline for comments is November 17, 2006.
