Abstract
Economic growth has tumbled across Europe, inflation remains too high, and financial sector risks have materialized. Taming sticky inflation while avoiding financial stress and a recession will require tighter macroeconomic policies—tailored to changing financial conditions, stronger financial regulation and supervision, and bolder supply-side reforms that heal scars from the COVID-19 and energy crises.
Abstract
The past year has been a time of unexpected challenges for the international community, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde says in her foreword to the institution’s Annual Report 2015—Tackling Challenges Together, published today. Amid the continued focus on spurring stronger and more inclusive growth and strengthening global cooperation, the IMF faced economic developments that required rapid adjustments. Highlights of the IMF’s work during the year included insight into the international impact of falling oil prices, financing and policy advice for countries in difficulties, emergency funding to combat the Ebola crisis in West Africa, a new relief fund for the poor and most vulnerable countries hit by natural or public health disasters, research on fiscal policy to reduce inequality, free online training for the public and government officials, and online statistical data free of charge for all users. The report covers the work of the IMF’s Executive Board and contains financial statements for the year May 1, 2014, to April 30, 2015. It describes the IMF’s support for its 188 member countries, with an emphasis on the core areas of IMF responsibility: assessing their economic and financial policies, providing financing where needed, and building capacity in key areas of economic policy.

El año pasado planteó desafíos inesperados para la comunidad internacional, señala la Directora Gerente del Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI), Christine Lagarde, en el prefacio del Informe Anual de 2015, Juntos frente a los desafíos, publicado el día de hoy. En un contexto en que la atención siguió centrándose en promover un crecimiento más vigoroso y más inclusivo y en fortalecer la cooperación mundial, el FMI se vio ante acontecimientos económicos que exigirían ajustes rápidos. Algunos de los aspectos destacados de la labor del FMI durante el año fueron una investigación sobre el impacto mundial del descenso de los precios del petróleo, financiamiento y asesoramiento de política para países en dificultades, financiamiento de emergencia para combatir la crisis del ébola en África occidental, un nuevo fondo de alivio para los países pobres y más vulnerables afectados por desastres naturales y de salud pública, estudios sobre política fiscal para reducir la desigualdad, capacitación en línea gratuita para funcionarios públicos y datos estadísticos gratuitos en línea para todos los usuarios. El informe relata la labor desplegada por el Directorio Ejecutivo del FMI y presenta los informes financieros correspondientes al ejercicio comprendido entre el 1 de mayo de 2014 y el 30 de abril de 2015. El informe describe el apoyo que el FMI brinda a sus 188 países miembros, haciendo hincapié en las funciones básicas de la institución: evaluar las políticas económicas y financieras de los países, proporcionar financiamiento cuando sea necesario y fortalecer las capacidades en aspectos fundamentales de la política económica.
