Q3. In the current scenario, examine the relevance of the above two institutions.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF)
The IMF is an international organization of 184 member countries. It was established to promote

foster economic growth and high levels of employment; and to provide temporary financial
assistance to countries to help ease balance of payments adjustment.
Since the IMF was established its purposes have remained unchanged but its operations—which
involve surveillance, financial assistance, and technical assistance—have developed to meet the
changing needs of its member countries in an evolving world economy.
