Capacity Development
What is IMF Capacity Development
Over the years we’ve learned that countries need strong and capable institutions to devise policies strengthening growth, creating jobs and ensuring stability. That’s why one of three core IMF’s tasks—besides surveillance and lending—is supporting our members in strengthening the capacity of their institutions: central banks, finance ministries, revenue administrations, as well as statistical and financial sector supervisory agencies. This part of our work—called capacity development—focuses on providing tailored technical assistance and training on request of our member countries, focused on core areas of IMF competence, which are critical to economic stability and growth.
