At the time of the 2005 review of the Fund’s transparency policy, it was agreed that information on key trends in implementation of the transparency policy would be circulated to the Board regularly, along with lists indicating the publication status of reports discussed by the Board (see IMF Executive Board Reviews Fund’s Transparency Policy, August 15, 2005 and The Fund’s Transparency Policy—Proposed Amendments, July 28, 2005). The set of Tables provided in this report focuses on documents published through December 2005.

Abstract

Introduction

1. At the time of the 2005 review of the Fund's transparency policy, it was agreed that information on key trends in implementation of the transparency policy would be circulated to the Board regularly, along with lists indicating the publication status of reports discussed by the Board (see IMF Executive Board Reviews Fund's Transparency Policy, August 15, 2005 and The Fund's Transparency Policy—Proposed Amendments, July 28, 2005).

2. The set of Tables provided in this report focuses on documents published through December 2005.¹ Rolling updates will henceforth be issued annually to the Executive Board under the heading Key Trends in Implementation of the Fund's Transparency Policy²

3. It is proposed that these periodic reports be published within a few days of their issuance to the Board, with the final decision to authorize publication made in each case by the Board on a lapse of time basis.
