IMF to visit for Article IV consultations

After a two-year gap, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will be visiting Guyana for Article IV consultations where it will meet with government officials and collect information and data as it assesses this country’s economic developments.

An IMF spokesperson told Stabroek News last week that the organization expects the consultations “to take place in the first half of  2022.”

Under Article IV of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement, the IMF holds bilateral discussions with members, usually every year with the last for this country being held in 2019. Those consultations were concluded on August 30, 2019 and a report issued on the 17th of September that same year.
