In 1990, Japan agreed to provide financial support for IMF technical assistance (TA) to its member countries to strengthen their capacity to formulate, implement, and maintain macro-economic and structural adjustment programs. Since then, Japan has continued to be the largest single contributor to the IMF’s technical assistance and training activities. Japan’s contributions are provided through the Japan Administered Account for Selected Fund Activities (JSA).1 In addition, Japan finances two scholarship programs—one under the JSA and another under a separate subaccount.
