The Cen­tral Bank of  Suri­name (CB­vS) says a team from the In­ter­na­tion­al Mon­e­tary Fund (IMF) is on a vis­it to the Dutch-speak­ing Caribbean Com­mu­ni­ty (CARI­COM) as part of an Ar­ti­cle IV mis­sion.

This ar­ti­cle of the IMF’s Ar­ti­cles of Agree­ment gov­erns the Fund’s over­sight of the eco­nom­ic and fi­nan­cial poli­cies of its mem­ber states and the mis­sion which ends its stay here on Fri­day is be­ing led by the new mis­sion chief for Suri­name, Al­ber­to Be­har.

“Now that Suri­name has com­plet­ed its IMF pro­gramme (in March 2025), the reg­u­lar 12-month Ar­ti­cle IV mis­sions will re­sume. How­ev­er, an in­ter­im mis­sion will con­tin­ue an­nu­al­ly as part of the post-IMF pro­gramme, dur­ing which, among oth­er things, the con­sis­ten­cy of our coun­try’s macro­eco­nom­ic frame­work will be as­sessed over the medi­um term,” the CB­vS said in a state­ment.
