Strengthening IMF Surveillance

First, the IMF should promote financial stability through multilateral surveillance.

Second, the IMF should promote financial stability through bilateral surveillance.

To this end IMF surveillance should include regular updates on supervisory regimes in systemically important countries.

Even in Europe, with its long history of cooperation, surveillance and conditionality are outsourced to the IMF.

The new IMF needs to become more vocal on global financial stability issues. The IMF should see to it that there are no gaps in the surveillance of financial institutions.

The multilateral surveillance mechanisms launched last year by the IMF are a step in the right direction, but only if they become part of an institutionalized multilateral mechanism of surveillance and policy coordination.

The failure of that effort is implicitly recognized in the guidelines, which indicate that they do not imply any new obligations under IMF surveillance.

To respond effectively to crises, East Asian countries must continue to improve the regional financial safety net and surveillance mechanism, while strengthening their cooperation with the IMF.

This requires a different governance structure in which power is more evenly distributed, so that the IMF can effectively exercise surveillance where it should, not just where it can.

Since then, the IMF and the Bank have kept franc zone budget deficits under tight surveillance, which has limited the direct impact of sovereign debt worries on these countries.

Emerging economies, following the advanced countries, also attached less importance to Fund surveillance, especially as their accumulation of external assets made them less dependent on IMF financing and advice.

IMF informed the Task Force of the implementation and use of its Data Quality Assessment Framework (DQAF) as a tool for surveillance and technical assistance, and for structuring metadata for IMF dissemination standards (the General Data Dissemination System (GDDS) and the Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS)).

Epidemiological surveillance.

The abilities of mass surveillance and targeted surveillance techniques grew over time.

First, is the Fund s governance structure suited to exercising arms length surveillance of its main shareholders? And, second, did ideological blinders prevent the IMF from acknowledging that deregulation could contribute to a disastrous outcome?

The United States has a general surveillance program, a border surveillance program, and a hospital surveillance program, all devoted to finding new outbreaks of influenza.

For many years, the IMF has engaged its member countries in a process known as surveillance, in which it monitors, analyzes, and consults on each country s economic policies both exchange rate policies and relevant domestic policies.

In a desperate, last ditch effort, the IMF is now inventing spill over reports for a few systemically important economies, to be conducted at the margins of its country (Article IV) consultations. This initiative is destined to fail as did the IMF Multilateral Surveillance Exercise or the G 20 peer reviews in the recent past.

Because it's about surveillance.

Clearly the Fund s surveillance of the US economy was ineffective, and its multilateral surveillance of financial markets no better.

An essential element of such a mechanism is to give the IMF a prominent role in two areas strong and effective surveillance in order to prevent crises, and responsible lending to countries in need, but with appropriate limits and conditionality.

Such surveillance can build on the findings of the early warning exercise, which the IMF has initiated, together with the FSB. This exercise alerts ministers on low risk but high impact events and advises them on appropriate courses of action.
