In April, the IMF released the Manual on Fiscal Transparency (2007) including a revised Code of Good Practices on Fiscal Transparency (2007) to update the earlier version published in 2001.  The Manual seeks to expand and explain the pillars and principles of the Code and to provide richer and more in-depth coverage of each good practice. The revised Code (2007) is an updated version of the 2001 Code and denotes good practices that are potentially achievable by countries at all levels of economic development.
