International Monetary Fund. To talk about the International Monetary Fund means to speak of a highly 
specialized international organization with special powers which consists of 184 different member states of the 
world globe whose headquarter is in Washigton. The main goal of this organization was to create a climate of 
monetary institutional cooperation of countries promoting monetary stability and exchange agreements and

all the ensuing problems, has started to produce the first fruits in the form of financial aid for economic 
development. Despite some disagreement between the IMF and Kosovo, they have again begun to flow pending
