The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an international organization of 188 member countries established to promote international monetary cooperation, exchange stability, and orderly exchange arrangements; to foster economic growth and high levels of employment; and to provide temporary financial assistance to countries to help ease balance of payments adjustment.

For this week’s discussion, you are to visit the IMF website and explore the inter-workings of the organization and the areas they are working on and to choose a topic of interest to you and provide a “mini lecture and example” of 3-4 paragraphs for your classmates.

Please do not copy directly from the website; you will need to research several sources for your post. Use your chosen topic as the subject line for your post. Do not worry if another classmate uses the same topic, your post and example will come from several sources so chances slim for repetition.
