Abstract
In this study, requirements o f the international monetary
system and evolution o f the IMF's role in the system are studied.
The IMF's role changed over the past years by force o f
circumstances, moved towards long term lending, and recently
involved in the negotiations o f debt reschedulings with cred itor
banks. For this, it is criticised to have broken away from the
principles o f the Bretton Woods conference where it was conceived.
Recently, the IMF's role and functions become controversial·
particu larly by high-debt developing countries.
