Book Synopsis IMF Conditionality and Country Ownership of Programs by : Mr.Mohsin S. Khan
Download or read book IMF Conditionality and Country Ownership of Programs written by Mr.Mohsin S. Khan and published by INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. This book was released on 2001-09-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper uses finance and agency theory to establish two main propositions: First, that the conditionality attached to adjustment programs supported by the IMF is justified. Second, that ownership of programs by the borrowing country is crucial for their success. Hence, since both IMF conditionality and country ownership are necessary, the task is one of designing conditionality to maximize program ownership, subject to providing adequate safeguards for IMF lending. The paper discusses some recent proposals for enhancing ownership, and in particular, makes a case for incorporating floating tranches and outcomes-based conditionality in IMF-supported adjustment programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Program conditionality and ownership are important considerations in the IMF's current rethinking of program design. This paper contributes to the literature by developing a theory of program conditionality and ownership on the basis of Cumulative Prospect Theory. The policymaker may value a set of programs, each with fewer conditions, more than an extended program with as many conditions. This valuation bias is greater in ambiguity (Knightian uncertainty) than under uncertainty. If greater valuation of a program engenders more explicit and implicit ownership, then programs with fewer conditions may have a better chance of success. Less is more.
Book Synopsis Who's in Charge? Ownership and Conditionality in IMF-Supported Programs by : Mr.James M. Boughton
Download or read book Who's in Charge? Ownership and Conditionality in IMF-Supported Programs written by Mr.James M. Boughton and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-09-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IMF lending is conditional on a country's commitment to carry out an agreed program of economic policies. Unless that commitment is genuine and broadly held, the likelihood of implementation will be poor. Is there a conflict between national commitment and conditional finance? Are national authorities or other agents in the country less likely to "own" a reform program simply because it is conditionally financed? This paper argues that potential conflicts are reduced when program design takes the country's interests and circumstances into account and when conditionality results from a genuine process of interaction between the IMF and the borrower.

Book Synopsis Expenditure Conditionality in IMF-supported Programs by : Mr.Sanjeev Gupta
Download or read book Expenditure Conditionality in IMF-supported Programs written by Mr.Sanjeev Gupta and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the impact of expenditure conditionality in IMF programs on the composition of public spending. A granular dataset on different government expenditure conditions covering 115 countries for the 1992-2016 period is compiled. The results support the view that while conditionality on specific elements of spending could help achieve a program’s short-term objectives, it is structural conditionality which delivers lasting benefits. Structural public financial management conditionality (such as on budget execution and control) has proven to be effective in boosting the long-term level of education, health, and public investment expenditures. The results further indicate that conditionality on raising such spending may come at the expense of other expenditures. Finally, the successful implementation (and not mere existence) of the conditionality is crucial for improved outcomes. These findings are relevant for policy makers targeting achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Book Synopsis How to Gain the Most from Structural Conditionality of IMF-Supported Programs by : Mr. Jochen R. Andritzky
Download or read book How to Gain the Most from Structural Conditionality of IMF-Supported Programs written by Mr. Jochen R. Andritzky and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural conditionality of IMF-supported programs is designed to support structural reforms by countries borrowing from the IMF. Taking stock of program conditions and their implementation, this paper finds that conditionality focuses on fiscal, monetary and financial issues—areas where IMF expertise is strong—and shies away from structural areas such as labor or product market reforms. Hence, tackling deep-rooted structural issues during IMF-supported programs often remained elusive. To ensure countries gain most from IMF conditionality, the paper outlines an evaluation matrix for prioritizing and designing structural reforms, and applies it to case studies.

Book Synopsis IMF-Supported Programs by : Mr.Ashoka Mody
Download or read book IMF-Supported Programs written by Mr.Ashoka Mody and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2006-04-03 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research work by the IMF’s staff on the effectiveness of the country programs the organization supports, which has long been carried out, has intensified in recent years. IMF analysts have sought to “open up the black box” by more closely examining program design and implementation, as well as how these influence programs’ effectiveness. Their efforts have also focused on identifying the lending, signaling, and monitoring features of the IMF that may affect member countries’ economic performance. This book reports on a large portion of both the new and the continuing research. It concludes that IMF programs work best where domestic politics and institutions permit the timely implementation of the necessary measures and when a country is vulnerable to, but not yet in, a crisis. It points to the need for a wider recognition of the substantial diversity among IMF member countries and for programs to be tailored accordingly while broadly maintaining the IMF’s general principle of uniformity of treatment.
Book Synopsis Structural Conditionality in IMF-Supported Programs by : International Monetary Fund. Independent Evaluation Office
Download or read book Structural Conditionality in IMF-Supported Programs written by International Monetary Fund. Independent Evaluation Office and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation examines factors influencing the effectiveness of the IMF structural conditionality in bringing about structural reform. It assesses the impact of the streamlining initiative launched in 2000 and of the 2002 Conditionality Guidelines. These guidelines aimed at reducing the volume and scope of structural conditionality by requiring “parsimony” in the use of conditions and stipulated that conditions must be “critical” to the achievement of the program goals. The evaluation finds that during the period 1995–2004, there was extensive use of structural conditionality in IMF-supported programs, with an average of 17 conditions per program/year.
Book Synopsis Law and Policy of IMF Conditionality by : Erik M.G. Denters
Download or read book Law and Policy of IMF Conditionality written by Erik M.G. Denters and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IMF conditionality has been severely criticised by developing countries, who accuse the Fund of unjustly provoking political turmoil and causing poverty. This refers to the policies that a member country is required to follow in order to be able to use the Fund's resources. Conditionality is legally based on the requirement to adopt `adequate safeguards' for the use of resources as stipulated by the IMF's Articles of Agreement. This work focuses on legal implications and policy aspects and, more specifically, on the question of how far-reaching the requirement of `adequate safeguards' may be. Furthermore, the author demonstrates that conditionality is also affected by cooperative arrangements with other institutions, such as the World Bank and United Nations. A major conclusion is that there should be improvements in cooperation and in the monitoring of the application of Fund law on conditionality. Scholars and students who take a deep interest in international economic relations will find this book a unique opportunity to study the legal framework of conditionality. Government officials preparing for negotiations with the Fund will also benefit from reading this work.

Book excerpt: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently revised the guidelines for the design of conditionality in its loans. Conditionality requires a borrower country to adhere to various macroeconomic and other policy "conditions" when it borrows funds from the IMF. It is an inherent feature of all IMF lending. Four guiding principles are at the core of the revised IMF guidelines: national ownership of the reform program, parsimony and clarity in the application of program-related conditions, tailoring of programs to the member's circumstances, and effective coordination between the IMF and other multilateral institutions. This report provides background on the issues, summarizes the principles underlying the new guidelines, discuses the criticisms they respond to, and assesses their likely effectiveness. This report will not be updated.
