Readers can now order some of the IMF's most recent titles online.
In October 2006, the IMF launched a quarterly newsletter for subscribers, with a link for ordering online. Cathy Willis, an External Relations Officer in the IMF's Editorial and Publications Division, notes that the newsletter marks the institution's first Web-enabled e-mail promotion. "The Fund continually publishes new content, but it has always been up to the customer to find it," she said. "With this initiative, we are helping existing customers stay up to date on our new and current publications, and we are reaching out to new customers as well." Here are some of the titles highlighted in the current newsletter:

India has emerged as a global economic power, the leading outsourcing destination, and a favorite of global investors. Is it entering into a golden age or experiencing a period of rapid but ultimately unsustainable growth?

The Pacific island region has considerable potential for development, especially in tourism, fisheries, forestry, mining, and agriculture. But these countries face such development challenges as small size, distance from major markets, and vulnerability to natural disasters. This book assesses the regional issues and the factors affecting each country.
Although the countries of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union have enjoyed a sustained period of price and exchange rate stability, they have recently been buffeted by adverse shocks. To strengthen their growth performance, these countries must integrate with the global economy, develop the tourism industry, and preserve macroeconomic stability. This volume examines the issues that are part of that process. |
