The International Monetary Fund (IMF) released a staff report on June 10, 2022, providing an updated list of member countries with delays exceeding 18 months in completing Article IV consultations or mandatory financial stability assessments, with data as of June 15, 2022. This update reflects changes from the December 2021 list, including the addition of Iran and the removal of Pakistan. Delays are attributed to reasons such as program-related issues, political or security challenges, government changes, staffing constraints, and authorities' requests, with specific cases explained in an appendix. Notably, no member had delays in mandatory financial stability assessments exceeding 18 months. The calculations account for grace periods and extensions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
