The delegation is visiting Croatia for regular consultations concerning the application of Article IV of the IMF Statute, which is applied to all IMF member-countries as well as those states which do not need to draw money from the IMF for a certain period of time, as is the case lately with Croatia. The IMF delegation will hold talks with the HNB, Finance Ministry, State Agency for the Insurance of Saving Deposits and Rehabilitation of Banks, and several other state and financial institutions.
