Description
The pernicious effects of corruption on promoting economic stability and helping countries achieve strong, sustainable, and inclusive growth are well known. Most governance and anti-corruption reforms are complex and require a long-term commitment. In 2018 the IMF completely revamped its approach to addressing corruption in its work with member countries. Since the adoption of the 2018 Framework to guide the work in this area, the Fund has enhanced its efforts to focus on governance vulnerabilities in key state functions (e.g., fiscal governance, financial sector oversight) that result from corruption and/or give rise to opportunities for corruption. Please join Fund staff to discuss key efforts in these past five years and specific proposals for the way forward, to facilitate effective progress in these areas in collaboration with partners and stakeholders.
