Kyrgyz Republic

On October 20, 2017, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund concluded the consideration of the Article IV consultation of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Under Article IV of its Articles of Agreement, the IMF has a mandate to exercise surveillance over the economic, financial and exchange rate policies of its members in order to ensure the effective operation of the international monetary system. The IMF’s appraisal of such policies involves a comprehensive analysis of the general economic situation and policy strategy of each member country. As the country is under an Extended Credit Facility arrangement, IMF economists visit the member country for the Article IV consultation, once every two years, to collect and analyze data and hold discussions with government and central bank officials. Upon its return, the staff submits a report to the IMF’s Executive Board for discussion. The Board’s views are subsequently summarized and transmitted to the country authorities. 

The authorities need more time to consider the publication of the staff report.
