Series consists of Consultation Files. Consultative functions originate from the IMF responsibility to oversee the international monetary system and exercise firm surveillance over its members' economic policies. For the most part country surveillance takes the form of annual consultations with individual member countries. Records reflect the Department's function of conducting the IMF business by holding consultations missions and discussions under Articles XIV & VIII and Article IV of the IMF's Articles of Agreement with its area countries. Series is processed in chronological tranches. Files in each successive tranche are organized alphabetically by country and chronologically within. Records consist of memoranda exchanged between the Asia and Pacific Director, Advisors, and Division Chiefs with the Managing Director, Deputy Managing Director, other Department Heads, and members of Consultations Committees; internal memoranda and correspondence exchanged within the Department and with IMF Resident Representatives; letters, telexes and cables exchanged with country officials, Central Banks, the World Bank, and other international organizations; contributions or comments on drafts, including those from government officials directly involved with the Consultations; and arrangements for missions.
