IMF 2023 Fund Internship Program

| What to Expect

The duration of the internship will be 10-12 weeks, and will be undertaken between May and October 2023 (the precise period of the internship will be agreed between the department and the successful candidate).

The selected candidate will work in one of the units of the Legal Department under the supervision and guidance of a senior member of the unit. Projects assigned (which differ from year to year) will be determined at a time closer to the start of the internship to ensure that they are directly aligned with the department’s work program and, to the extent possible, with the interests of the intern. Past internship research projects have covered a broad spectrum of legal issues as the examples below from previous year illustrate:

  • Analysis of the impact of corruption on sovereign lending and on sovereign debt restructuring.
  • Review the regulatory approaches taken by one or more financial centres to insider trading and the use of material non-public information.
  • Research on international law issues related to monetary and financial law with relevance to the IMF’s mandate on surveillance and use of IMF resources
  • Research on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) design options to facilitate analysis on the financial integrity and anti-money laundering and combating terrorism financing implications generated by different arrangements.
  • Analysis of cross-border payments data and identification of outlier financial flows potentially related to money laundering, underlying crimes and terrorism financing.
