Monitoring of Fund Arrangements (MONA)

MONA Database

The Monitoring of Fund Arrangements (MONA) database contains comparable information on the economic objectives and outcomes in Fund-supported arrangements. It tracks the performance of countries in terms of scheduled purchases and reviews, quantitative and structural conditionality, and macroeconomic indicators.

Data are available for most arrangements since 2002 to the present, and are collected at the time of arrangement approval, and following each review. Dissemination of MONA data are made to imf.org within a few weeks following Executive Board meetings. This results in a cumulative history of each arrangement from one Board meeting to the next.
