Summary

• This paper, and a companion piece on legal aspects “The Fund’s Mandate—The Legal Framework,” is the first in a series of reflections on the Fund’s mandate—on what it should be doing to promote global stability and how the membership might support that process.
• At this stage, the aim is not to put forward concrete proposals but to float ideas with a view to stimulating a broader debate.
• Follow up papers, based on feedback from the Executive Board and public outreach, are planned ahead of the final report to the IMFC in September.
