How the International Monetary Fund and Member Countries Can Conduct Climate-Informed Article IV Surveillance

The paper examines the implementation of 'climate-informed' Article IV surveillance by the IMF, identifying gaps in current climate topic coverage and barriers to systematic integration. It argues that incorporating relevant data and experts into risk assessments and consultations will provide more coherent guidance for member countries.

• Prior to 2021, the IMF lacked a systematic plan for integrating climate change into its Article IV process, though it committed to doing so as part of its 2021 Comprehensive Surveillance Review.
• The paper suggests that the IMF and member countries can improve the relevance and coherence of guidance by including specialized experts and relevant data within the consultation process, prioritized topics, and risk analysis.
