Challenges facing our member countries to restore and maintain financial stability have changed over the last 50 years, and will continue to evolve in the years ahead. The IMF, in response, continues to work with its members to find solutions to emerging challenges. Following the global financial crisis, our focus centered around members’ needs to adopt and implement new Basel standards for supervision and regulation, to adapt monetary and exchange rate policies, to enhance systemic risk analysis and macroprudential frameworks, and to develop crisis management and bank resolution frameworks. The IMF’s recent capacity building efforts have, importantly, included supporting financial stability in fragile states.
In the current environment, staying ahead of the curve requires agile responses to requests for assistance in emerging areas; innovations in knowledge creation, management and dissemination; and maintenance of proper governance and accountability frameworks. The IMF faces the needs to continuously anticipate emerging financial-sector challenges, including the impact of technology on financial infrastructure oversight and cyber threats—and build human capacity. The Postcard talk will discuss a selection of experiences from the field, strategies to address the challenges and face emerging risks, and our approaches on how best to serve our constituency.
