International Monetary Fund (IMF) – Financial Integrity Group

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an international organization comprised of member countries whose primary objective is to promote global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, and foster sustainable economic growth. Established in 1944, the IMF works to maintain the stability of the international monetary system, consisting of exchange rates and international payments, by providing policy advice, financial assistance, and technical expertise to its member countries.

The Financial Integrity Group (FIG) is a unit within the IMF that focuses on combating money laundering, terrorist financing, corruption, and other illicit financial activities. The group collaborates with member countries to provide policy recommendations, capacity building, and technical assistance in areas such as anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), fiscal transparency, and financial integrity. The Financial Integrity Group also conducts assessments and evaluations of member countries’ efforts in addressing these issues, and works to strengthen global cooperation and coordination in combating financial crimes and promoting financial integrity at the international level.
