### Office mandate and history
- Tobias Roy, Resident Representative.
- The IMF established an office of the IMF Resident Representative for West Bank and Gaza in July 1995 to help fulfill the IMF’s mandate to assist the Palestinian Authority as specified under the Oslo Accords.
- West Bank and Gaza is not a member country of the IMF, and the IMF can therefore not lend to West Bank and Gaza.

### Services and activities
- The IMF provides technical services to West Bank and Gaza, including:
  - (i) policy advice in the macroeconomic, fiscal, and financial areas; and
  - (ii) technical assistance, with a focus on tax administration, public financial management, banking supervision and regulation, and statistics.
- The office produces IMF staff views and reports on relations between West Bank and Gaza and the IMF.

### Role in coordination and reporting
- The IMF is a member of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC, established in 1993 following the signing of the first Oslo Accord to coordinate the delivery of international development assistance to the Palestinian Authority).
- Alongside UNSCO, the World Bank and the Quartet, the IMF publishes regular reports as an input to the usually biannual AHLC meetings.

### Recent publications
- April 16, 2026 — War in the Middle East: Economic Spillovers and Policy Challenges
  - The April 2026 IMF Regional Economic Outlook Update examines how the war in the Middle East is reshaping growth, inflation, and financial conditions across the region and discusses key priorities for regional policymakers.
