Creating Policy Space - Responsive Design and Streamlined Conditionality in Recent Low-Income Country Programs , (USA: International Monetary Fund, 0) accessed November 21, 2024

Summary

An analysis of recent programs in low-income countries, covering countries with continuous program engagement with the IMF throughout the period 2007-09, shows that program design has been adapted to provide expanded policy space in response to the food and fuel price shocks of 2007-08 and to the global financial crisis that followed. The analysis also finds that structural conditionality in Fund-supported programs in low-income countries has become more streamlined, with a dominant focus on public sector resource management and accountability.
