Review of the Role of Trade in the Work of the Fund

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 March 27 consideration of the staff report.• The Staff Report, prepared by IMF staff and completed on February 27 for the Executive Board's consideration on March 27.• A Staff Supplement.[The documents listed below have been or will be separately released.] 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.
