Data is fundamental to the operations of the IMF, playing a crucial role in supporting its policy advice and lending activities.

This webinar, which targets officials of central banks, ministries of finance and statistical offices, aims to present the updates in the IMF Data Provision Framework (DPF) recently endorsed by the IMF Executive Board.

The webinar will be divided in two sessions, dedicated to the two main updates of the DPF: the new Data Adequacy Assessment (DAA) framework, and the new mandatory data categories that will need to be provided by IMF member countries.

The new DAA framework offers tools to IMF staff to evaluate data comprehensively, as well as an enriched platform for communication with both the authorities and the public.

It facilitates clearer articulation of data strengths and weaknesses within a country, fostering improved dialogue and transparency surrounding data-related matters, as well as data-related technical assistance prioritization.

The webinar will showcase early experiences with the new DAA and collect feedback. The second presentation will give an overview of the updated list of national data categories that members are required, subject to capacity constraints, to provide to the Fund in the areas of public sector, foreign exchange intervention, and macrofinancial indicators.

The updated list aims to enhance macroeconomic analysis and adapt policy advice to the evolving economic and financial landscape.

The webinar will be held in English.

Participants are encouraged to ask written questions to the presenters using the webinar’s Q&A feature.
