August 26, 1999 http://www.heritage.org/ Welcome to the The Heritage Extra!, your source for up-to-the-minute information from The Heritage Foundation. Policy Paper Released August 26, 1999 How Reliable are IMF Economic Forecasts? by William W. Beach, Aaron B. Schavey, and Isabel M. Isidro Last October, Congress passed the 1999 Omnibus Appropriations Act, which, among other things, allocates $18 billion to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The passage of this bill followed an intense debate on the effectiveness of the IMF, as well as its capacity for reform to improve its performance. To measure the IMF's effectiveness objectively, Heritage analysts looked at the IMF's economic forecasts from 1971 to 1998 for various industrial countries and developing regions. This report presents the results of Heritage's analysis. http://www.heritage.org/library/cda/cda99-05.html More on Asia http://www.heritage.org/library/budget.html DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
