These two international financial institutions have come to exert a major—some would say dominant—influence on economic policy in developing countries over the last half century. During the nineties these two institutions have placed significant importance on governance issues among their member countries. The IMF, in particular, has given increased attention to such issues, following the approval of the Guidance Note on governance by the Executive Board five years ago (IMF 1997). The promotion of transparency and accountability are now at the core of the IMF’s efforts to ensure the good use of public resources as well as the domestic ownership of IMF programs (IMF 2001b). In this respect, transparency and accountability are important global public goods in an increasingly interdependent and democratic world. These two factors facilitate trust and confidence, bolstering cooperation within the context of the international financial system. In recent years the IMF has developed and applied its instruments for promoting these objectives to an extent well beyond what was envisaged at the time the Guidance Note was approved. Indeed, the IMF helps countries identify any weaknesses that may exist in their institutional and regulatory frameworks that could give rise to poor governance; it then provides support in the design and implementation of remedial reforms. Given the strength of vested interests that benefit from the lack of transparency and accountability in these situations, overcoming these weaknesses often requires that the countries undertake significant structural reforms.
