Program Design in Currency Unions

Abstract

IMF staff regularly produces papers proposing new IMF policies, exploring options for reform, or reviewing existing IMF policies and operations. The following documents have been released and are included in this package: • A Press Release summarizing the views of the Executive Board as expressed during its February 21, 2018 consideration of the staff report. • The Staff Report, prepared by IMF staff and completed on August 29, 2017 for the Executive Board's consideration on February 21, 2018. • Staff Supplements The IMF's transparency policy allows for the deletion of market-sensitive information and premature disclosure of the authorities' policy intentions in published staff reports and other documents.
