Series primarily consists of records generated by desk economists when monitoring and assessing developments in their desk country. Topics of note include: resident representatives; technical assistance; external debts, credits and grants; exchange controls and regulations; central banks; government finance; and production (i.e. important industries in the desk country, such as cocoa, for example). There are also records that reflect the desk economist's role in maintaining contacts with counterparts in functional departments, IBRD (later World Bank), and other organizations. Records include: IMF and other reports, correspondence, memoranda, cables, tables, newspaper clippings and other excerpts from publications. Series is arranged alphabetically by country and then according to a classification scheme which was common to all country desks.
