Review Of the Fund's Policy on Multiple Currency Practices—Extension of The Effective Date, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2023) accessed December 26, 2024

Summary

In July 2022, the Executive Board concluded the review of the Fund’s policy on multiple currency practices (MCPs). The effectiveness date for the new policy was originally envisaged for April 1, 2023 and then delayed to November 1, 2023. Staff proposed and the Board supported an additional extension of the transitional period and a delay of the effectiveness date to February 1, 2024. The extension will allow more time for the authorities to adjust to the new policy and for staff to conduct outreach with stakeholders to raise awareness. Elements of the revised policy which became effective immediately on July 1, 2022 will continue to apply as envisaged during the transitional period.
