About the IMF

The IMF is an international organization of 182 member countries, established to promote international monetary cooperation, exchange stability, and orderly exchange arrangements; to foster economic growth and high levels of employment; and to provide temporary financial assistance to countries under adequate safeguards to help ease balance of payments adjustment.
see Purposes of the IMF

Since the IMF was established in 1946, its purposes have remained unchanged but its operations -- which involve surveillance, financial assistance, and technical assistance -- have evolved to meet the needs of a changing world economy.
