### Executive summary
- The framework guiding the IMF’s communications was established by the Executive Board in 2007.
- The framework has enabled the institution to respond flexibly to the changing global context.
- Continued efforts are needed to strengthen communications going forward.

### Guiding principles of the communications framework
- (i) deepening understanding and support for the Fund’s role and policies.
- (ii) better integrating communications into the IMF’s daily operations.
- (iii) raising the impact of new communications materials and technologies.
- (iv) rebalancing outreach efforts to take account of different audiences.
- Greater emphasis has been placed on strengthening internal communications to help ensure institutional coherence in the Fund’s outreach activities.

### Key issues requiring attention
- First, taking further steps to ensure clarity and consistency in communication in a world where demand for Fund services continues to rise.
- Second, doing more to assess the impact of IMF communications and thus better inform efforts going forward.
- Third, engaging strategically and prudently with new media—including social media.
