Lagos, Sept. 23, 2023 – The International Monetary Fund today released its 2026 Annual Report of the Executive Board.
According to a statement from its media group, the report covers the activities of the IMF in fiscal year 2026 from May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2026, and in some cases more recently.
The 2026 Annual Report, Navigating a Precarious World, examines four forces shaping the global economy: rising public debt, a surge of AI investment transforming economies and labor markets, trade reorientation amid an unprecedented energy supply shock, and the rapid development of stablecoins, central bank digital currencies, and tokenization.
In FY 2026, the IMF continued to support its members in our three core areas:
Economic surveillance: 138 country health checks (Article IV consultations and related surveillance activities) completed.
Lending: $40 billion in financing to 18 countries (including roughly $2 billion to 9 low-income countries).
Capacity development: $400 million for hands-on technical advice, policy-oriented training, and peer learning.
The report is available at https://www.imf.org/annual-report/2026 in English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, with Thai-language highlights.
