Work for the IMF. Work for the World.

The Government Finance Division (STAGO) of the IMF’s Statistics Department (STA) is seeking to fill a vacancy for a specialized Economist/Senior Economist.

STA provides global leadership on macroeconomic and financial statistics.

It also supports member countries’ efforts to compile and disseminate improved fiscal data through its broad capacity development program.
