West Bank and Gaza: At a Glance

The office of the IMF Resident Representative for the West Bank and Gaza was established in July 1995, to help fulfill the IMF’s mandate to assist the Palestinian Authority as specified under the Oslo Accords. While the IMF cannot provide financial support to WBG (because it is not a member state), it has been providing policy advice in the macroeconomic, fiscal, and financial areas since 1994. The IMF has also been providing technical assistance to support capacity building in the areas of tax administration, public expenditure management, banking supervision and regulation, and macroeconomic statistics. More recently, IMF staff worked with the Palestinian Authority to develop the Palestinian Reform and Development Plan presented at the Paris Donors’ Conference in 2007 and its successor Palestinian National Development Plan, published in 2011. The IMF’s staff reports review progress in implementing these plans, with a focus on the macroeconomic and fiscal areas.
