International Monetary Fund
International Monetary Fund (IMF) Specialized, intergovernmental agency of the
United Nations (UN), and administrative body of the
international monetary system. Established by the
Bretton Woods Conference (1944), its main function is to provide assistance to member states troubled by
balance of payments problems and other financial difficulties. The IMF does not actually lend money to member states; rather, it exchanges the member state's currency with its own
Special Drawing Rates (SDR) (a ‘basket’ of other currencies) in the hope that this will alleviate balance of payment difficulties. These exchanges are usually conditional upon the recipient country agreeing to pursue prescribed policy reforms. The organization is based in Washington, D.C.
