This report evaluates the role of the IMF in Argentina during 1991-2001, focusing particularly on the period of crisis management from 2000 until early 2002.
The primary purpose of the evaluation is to draw lessons for the IMF in its future operational work.
The evaluation suggests ten lessons and, on the basis of these lessons, offers six sets of recommendations to improve the effectiveness of IMF policies and procedures.

Ten lessons are identified across the following areas:
- Surveillance and program design
- Crisis management
- The decision-making process

The evaluation offers six sets of recommendations designed to improve the effectiveness of IMF policies and procedures (organized on the basis of the ten lessons).
