The Fund "was called on to support a global response to the global crisis" and "has delivered with strengthened surveillance, policy advice and financing with modernized instruments."
The Managing Director referenced the Istanbul meeting where "the membership expressed its appreciation for these accomplishments."
The months ahead require focus on four key reform areas—the Istanbul decisions:
- "our mandate"
- "our financing role"
- "multilateral surveillance"
- "governance"
Concurrent operational objectives:
- "supporting the consolidation of the nascent upturn"
- "helping to establish a stronger post-crisis global economy"

The work program builds on completed work summarized in "Table 1" and sets out the "noncountry work program" in "Table 2."
Scope note: the noncountry work program "leaves aside country items such as Article IVs and program reviews."
Characterization: "This work program is no less ambitious and taxing than the one we have just completed," with confidence that "we can successfully meet this challenge."
