Abstract

During the financial year 2013, the IEO produced two evaluations, International Reserves: IMF Concerns and Country Perspectives and The Role of the IMF as Trusted Advisor, both of which were discussed by the Executive Board. As part of a pilot project, the IEO prepared two reviews of past IEO evaluations, which are summarized in this report and attached in full as annexes. In addition, the IEO published a volume of self-evaluative papers produced for the conference marking its first ten years.
