Excited to join this discussion today! Hidden debt has significant macroeconomic impacts & increases risk of corruption & misuse. IMF is committed to working with CSO partners to raise awareness of the dangers of hidden debt & support reforms for greater debt transparency.

Enriching discussion with UN Human Rights Council President, H.E. Mr. Omar Zniber. IMF macroeconomic mandate helps to support human rights—particularly, social & economic rights—by helping member countries create an economic & institutional environment in which human rights can flourish.

Dynamic discussion at the CSO Policy Forum! The costs of hidden debt to the economy & ordinary citizens are huge: public schools without funds, pensions not paid, bridges not built, to name a few.  Legal reform is critical for debt transparency! Watch: tinyurl.com/24nubj2a

The creation of the IMF began with its Articles of Agreement, which established the legal framework governing the institution’s purposes and functions.

The IMF Articles of Agreement is a Treaty signed by countries that become Fund members and constitutes the charter of the organization, where its purposes and members’ rights & obligations are laid out.

We weeded out 36 bags of English ivy last week! Privileged to have given back with the fantastic IMF Legal team. Guided by Rock Creek Conservancy, we helped protect over 1,800 sq ft of forest in Rock Creek Park. We sweated a little & learned a lot together. tinyurl.com/4c2je696

Though challenging at times, the IMF's conversations with member countries on anti-corruption must be candid and systematic,  focusing on recipient countries, but also on countries not doing enough to prevent the bribery and facilitation of corruption. bit.ly/ebm-pdcst
