Text 1 International Monetary Fund
International Monetary Fund or IMF is a specialized agency of the United Nations, having
been established along with International Bank for Reconstruction and Development — the
World Bank — at the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference held in 1944 at
Bretton Woods. The IMF is recorded to have begun operations in 1947. Its purpose is
to promote international monetary co-operation and to facilitate the expansion and
balanced growth of international trade. It may be achieved through the establishment of
a multilateral system of payments for current transactions and the elimination of foreign
trade restrictions. It now has an important role in development economics as a facilitator
of the transition to full participation in the world economy.
The IMF is a permanent forum for consideration of issues of international payments in
which member nations are encouraged to maintain an orderly pattern of exchange rates
and to avoid restrictive exchange practices. It also provides advice on economic policy
and fiscal policy, promotes world policy co-ordination, and gives technical assistance
for central banks, accounting, taxation and other financial matters. Membership,
currently comprising 179 countries, is open to all sovereign nations. Members
undertake to keep the IMF informed about economic and financial policies that impinge
on the exchange value of their national currencies. As a result, other members can make
appropriate policy decisions.
