This is the International Monetary Fund. It brings almost every country together to promote international monetary cooperation, monitor global economic and financial developments, and assist countries facing balance-of-payments problems with policy advice, technical assistance, and short-term loans to restore financial stability. This combination of guiding exchange-rate and monetary policy, providing temporary financial support, and building economic capacity is what defines the IMF.
