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. The set of tables provided in this report updates the last Key Trends with information on documents issued to the Board through December 2011.

Abstract

Table 1.

Trends in Publication Rates ^1/^2/

Publication refers to documents considered by the Board during the calendar year, and published within six months of the end of the calendar year; e.g. the publication rate for 2011 refers to the documents discussed by the Board in 2011 and published by June 30, 2012.

Data include documents issued for the Board’s consideration in a meeting or on a lapse-of-time basis.

Does not include three Joint Staff Advisory Notes which were issued in 2011 but not yet discussed by the Board as of the issuance of these reports.

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 FSRB, issued on a stand-alone basis or in FSSAs. Does not include assessments done under detailed standards assessments.

Does not include authorities’ statements that are included in ROSCs. Includes Executive Directors’ Statements and “right of reply” documents.

TMUs when applicable.

Does not include two PRSP documents which were issued in 2011 but yet discussed by the Board as of the issuance of these reports.

Only includes policy papers for which publication is presumed under the Transparency Policy. As of March 17, 2010, the presumed publication regime for policy papers was extended to all policy documents prepared for the Board, including documents prepared for formal meetings and informal sessions. However, papers dealing with internal or administrative matters remain excluded from the presumption.
