The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released the Rules and Regulations for the Investment Account, which were adopted on January 23, 2013, and amended thereafter. The IA provides a vehicle for the investment of a part of the Fund's assets to generate income that may be used to meet the expenses of conducting the business of the Fund. The IA may be funded with currencies transferred from the General Resources Account (GRA) or the placement of profits from the sale of pre-Second Amendment gold. The objective of the IA is to diversify the sources and increase the level of the Fund's income, thereby strengthening its finances over time. The IA's transparency policy allows for the deletion of market-sensitive information and premature disclosure of the authorities' policy intentions in published staff reports and other documents. Electronic copies of IMF Policy Papers are available to the public from the IMF's website.
