| Summary: | This paper aims to assess the economic impact of the IMF's support through its facilities for low-income countries. It relies on two complementary econometric analyses: the first investigates the longer-term impact of IMF engagement-primarily through successive medium-term programs under the Extended Credit Facility and its predecessors (and more recently the Policy Support Instrument)-on economic growth and a range of other indicators and socioeconomic outcomes; the second focuses on the role of IMF shock-related financing-through augmentations of Extended Credit Facility arrangements and short-term and emergency financing instruments-on short-term macroeconomic performance. |
