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.¹

2. The set of tables provided in this report updates the last Key Trends ² with information on documents published through December 2007.³ An update will continue to be issued annually to the Executive Board.

I. Trends in Publication Rates

Table 1.

Trends in Publication Rates ^1/^2/

^{^1/}Publication rates refer to documents considered by the Board in a period running from November 1 to October 31, and published by the end of the calendar year; e.g., the publication rate for 2007 refers to documents considered by the Board during November 1, 2006 to October 31, 2007, and published by December 31, 2007.

^{^2/}Data include documents issued for the information of the Board and documents sent to the Board for consideration on lapse-of-time basis.

^{^3/}Includes initial ROSC assessments and reassessments produced by the IMF, as well as the World Bank and, in the case of AML/CFT ROSCs, by FATF and FATF-style regional bodies (FSRB), issued on a stand-alone basis or in FSSAs. Does not include assessments done under the Offshore Financial Center (OFC) program or detailed standards assessments.

^{^4/}Publication rate of PINs is expressed as a share of number of relevant Article IV Board discussions; by definition, 100% of PINs are published.

^{^5/}Does not include authorities' statements that are included in ROSCs. Includes Executive Directors' Statements and "right of reply" documents.

^{^6/}Includes LOIs/MEFPs and TMUs issued in the context of SMPs and PSIs.
