Behind the Scenes with Data at the IMF

Published by: Independent Evaluation Office of the International Monetary Fund

The evaluation thus recommends, that the IMF, first and foremost (i) develops a long-term strategy for data and statistics at the Fund that goes well beyond just data management. This is followed by four recommendations— on some key elements of the overarching strategy— aimed at addressing the most salient problems: (ii) define and prioritize the IMF’s data needs and support data pro- vision by member countries accordingly; (iii) reconsider the role and mandate of the IMF’s Statistics Department; (iv) re-examine the staff’s structure of incentives in the area of data management; and (v) make clear the limits of IMF responsibility regarding the quality of the data it disseminates, and the distinction between “IMF data” and “official data.”
