This report explains the financial activities of the International Monetary Fund. More specifically, it provides the context and analytical background to the IMF's financial statements, which are publicly available on the IMF's external website and in the Annual Report of the Executive Board. The IMF has policies in place to ensure that meaningful and timely information - both about its own role in the global economy and the economies of its member countries - is provided in real time to its global audiences. Transparency helps economies function better and makes them less vulnerable to crises. Greater openness and clarity by the IMF about its own role and activities makes it easier to hold the Fund accountable for its policy advice. This report seeks to make the IMF's financial operations more transparent. It outlines the role and purpose of the IMF; explains its regular financial operations, including its borrowing and lending; how the Fund provides concessional assistance to low-income countries; the origin and role of Special Drawing Rights in providing liquidity to member countries; the IMF's income model; the IMF's financial risk management framework; and recent reforms and policies. The report provides background information, details on recent and current activity, and summary tables and graphs. Throughout the report are links to additional online information. This report will be updated on an annual basis, with more frequent updates to the electronic versions as required.
