Abstract
IMF economists work closely with member countries on a variety of issues. Their unique perspective on country experiences and best practices on global macroeconomic issues are often shared in the form of books on diverse topics such as cross-country comparisons, capacity building, macroeconomic policy, financial integration, and globalization.
Abstract
This paper reviews key findings of the IMF’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1978. The report highlights that the period since the previous Annual Report—the third year of recovery from the most severe recession in four decades—has been one in which world economic developments were again unsatisfactory in some important respects. World output and trade continued to increase, but the pace of domestic expansion in the industrial world, which had been satisfactory during the first year or so of the recovery period, became slow and uneven, contrary to earlier expectations.
Abstract
This paper reviews key findings of the IMF’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1977. The report highlights that after a cessation of economic growth in 1974 and an unusual decline in 1975, real gross national product in the industrial countries expanded by almost 5½ percent in 1976. Increases in the range of 5–6½ percent occurred in all of the larger industrial countries except the United Kingdom. The deep and prolonged international recession that started late in 1973 reached its low point in the first half of 1975.
Abstract
This paper reviews key findings of the IMF’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1972. The report highlights that the main features of world economic developments in 1971 were a continuation of slow output growth coupled with inflation and the succession of currency crises, involving capital movements and foreign exchange reserve increases of unprecedented magnitude that led to the December 18 realignment of major currencies. During the first half of 1972, the picture with respect to certain aspects of these problems improved significantly.
Abstract
This paper reviews key findings of the IMF’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1969. The report highlights that rapid expansion and financial imbalance were the main features of the performance of the world economy during 1968 and the first half of 1969. Output and trade in the industrial countries registered a sharp advance, imparting economic stimulus to the primary producing countries. Several of the industrial countries encountered severe balance-of-payments difficulties, and the international financial scene was marred by recurrent crises in foreign exchange markets.
