Nearly 20% of International Monetary Fund staff say their work has been "unduly influenced" by supervisors, according to an internal survey released on Thursday as part of a review of data integrity standards that generally found "robust mechanisms" for institutional governance.
The review was launched last year by the IMF's Executive Board following allegations in September 2021 that IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva pressured World Bank staff to alter data to favour China in 2017 when she was chief executive of the development lender.
