WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury today released the concluding statement by the staff of the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) following this year's Article IV Consultation with the United States. This statement represents the independent judgment and
assessment by IMF staff of U.S. economic performance and policies.
Release of this statement is consistent with the United States' longstanding, strong support for enhanced transparency of the IMF. The
United States also plans to release the IMF staff report and Public Information Notice on the U.S. Article IV review following the Executive
Board's discussion of the mission later this summer. This year's report will also include the IMF's Financial System Stability Assessment
(FSSA) of the United States summarizing the IMF's examination of the U.S. financial system as part of the Financial Sector Assessment
Program (FSAP).
Article IV consultations typically take place once a year. IMF economists visit the member country to gather information and hold
discussions with government and central bank officials, and often private investors and labor representatives, members of parliament and
civil society organizations.
Participation in these consultations is one of the key obligations of IMF membership. Upon its return, the mission submits a report to the
IMF's Executive Board for discussion. The Board's views are subsequently summarized and transmitted to the country's authorities.
