Summary Features of Exchange and Trade Systems in Member Countries
The IMF has not received from the authorities of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia the information required for a description of the exchange and trade system as of December 31, 1995.
Note: The term “country,” as used in this publication, does not in all cases refer to a territorial entity that is a state as understood by international law and practice; the term also covers some territorial entities that are not states but for which statistical data are maintained and provided internationally on a separate and independent basis.
Preface
The Annual Report on Exchange Arrangements and Exchange Restrictions has been published annually by the IMF since 1950. It draws on information available to the IMF from a number of sources, including that provided in the course of official visits to member countries, and it has been prepared in close consultation with national authorities.
The project is coordinated in the Exchange Regime and Market Operations Division of the Monetary and Exchange Affairs Department. It draws on the specialized contributions of staff of that Department (for specific countries), with assistance from staff members of the IMF’s seven Area Departments, together with staff of other Departments.
