The IMF International Financial Statistics (IFS) is a compilation of financial data collected from various sources, covering the economies of 194 countries and areas[1] worldwide, which is published monthly by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The IFS is the IMF’s principal statistical publication, covering numerous topics of international and domestic finance. It includes, for most countries, data on exchange rates, balance of payments, international liquidity, money and banking, interest rates, prices, etc.[2] Most annual data begins in 1948, quarterly and monthly data dates back to 1957, and most balance of payments data begins in 1970.[3]
The IMF compiles the data from various sources including government departments, national accounts, central banks, the United Nations (UN), Eurostat, the International Labour Organization (ILO), and private financial institutions.[4]
