### Overview
- The IMF's Fiscal Risk Toolkit comprises a suite of analytical tools to guide government policy and capacity development.
- The tools aim to provide a practical basis for countries, at different levels of capacity, to identify, analyze, manage, and disclose different sources of fiscal risks.
- The Toolkit helps countries to identify their largest and most important sources of fiscal risks, prioritize areas to focus their efforts, and quantify potential fiscal impacts of risks.

### Tools and Coverage
- Tools are available to assess fiscal risks stemming from:
  - Macroeconomic shocks
  - Pandemics
  - State-owned enterprises
  - Public loans and guarantees
  - Public-private partnerships
- Several tools are available on a pilot basis and will continue to be refined and enhanced.
- Further tools will continue to be released as they are finalized.

### Contributions and Intended Outcomes
- The Fiscal Risk Toolkit helps contribute to:
  - Better understanding of risk exposures
  - Improved management of fiscal risks
  - More transparent reporting of risks
  - More resilient public finances

### Availability, Updates, and Use
- The tools are regularly updated as revisions are made; users are encouraged to check back to ensure they have the latest versions.
- The Toolkit is designed for countries at different levels of capacity and can be complemented by IMF capacity development.

### Capacity Development and Support
- IMF capacity development can accompany the tools to help countries build capacity to utilize and apply them in everyday work.
