April 10, 2000


The International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Executive Board agreed today that an independent evaluation office will be established in the IMF. The terms of reference, structure, staffing, and operating procedures of the evaluation office will be determined by the time of the Annual Meetings in September 2000.
