Summary and Purpose
- Presents an implementation plan for Board-endorsed recommendations arising from the IEO Evaluation of Structural Conditionality in IMF-Supported Programs (“the IEO Report”).
- Sections in the underlying paper:
- Section II: the IEO report’s recommendations and the views of the Executive Board are summarized.
- Section III: description of the proposed initiatives which make up this implementation plan.
- Section IV: discussion of the projected resource cost associated with this plan.
- Provides a renewed impetus to the Fund’s efforts to emphasize parsimony and criticality in the setting of structural conditions.
Key Findings from the IEO Evaluation (as summarized in the paper)
- The IEO report’s key findings echo many aspects of the 2005 conditionality Review.
- Evidence exists of a substantive shift in the composition of structural conditionality towards Fund core areas.
- Fund-supported programs cover narrower areas of reform.
- The IEO report argues that conditionality may have covered areas not critical to the goals of Fund-supported programs, indicating scope to strengthen the parsimony and criticality aspects of the 2002 Conditionality Guidelines (CG).
Structure of the Implementation Plan
- The implementation plan builds on the IEO Report and the Executive Board’s views (summarized in Section II).
- Proposed initiatives that compose the implementation plan are described in Section III.
- Section IV addresses projected resource cost associated with implementing the plan.
Contextual Notes
- The paper is framed as a policy paper and linked to IMF publications and dissemination channels (e.g., the IMF eLibrary, described as offering over 25,000 IMF publications in multiple formats).
- The document emphasizes alignment with earlier reviews and guidelines to refine conditionality practice.
