The question about the impact of IMF programmes has generated a
considerable level of debate among Economists interested in the
work of the Fund. While there is consensus on some issues, many
disagreements remain about the particular nature of effects on
certain macroeconomic variables. There are some who argue that the
IMF has become involved in a role to which it is not suited, and
that its programmes have undesirable consequences for economic
growth and other macroeconomic indicators. The other camp sees a
vital role for the Fund and contends that programme effects are
favourable. This study contributes to this debate by focusing on
programme effects in Sub Sahara Africa (SSA). Using three different
approaches of before-after analysis, Least Squares Dummy variable
(LSDV) and pool regression techniques (controlling for other
variables), we find some evidence of statistically significant
short-term and long-term programme effects, although not always
consistent with expectations. We submit some policy implications as
a result of our findings.
