Treasury Statement Following IMF Article IV Consultation | U.S. Department of the Treasury

Treasury Statement Following IMF Article IV Consultation
June 14, 2018

Washington – The Treasury Department today released the concluding statement following this
year’s Article IV consultation at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Release of the IMF’s
statement is consistent with the United States’ longstanding support for enhanced economic
transparency globally. We will also publish the IMF sta report and the IMF public information
notice on the U.S. Article IV review following the Executive Board’s discussion later this month.
This year’s consultations included productive discussions about the U.S. economy and the
Administration’s economic policy objectives. While we appreciate the IMF’s work on their report
and share similar short term forecasts on U.S. economic growth, we di er significantly on the
medium and long term projections. The Treasury Department believes that our policies,
including the productivity-boosting mix of tax reform and regulatory relief, will result in more
sustainable economic growth.
