Under Article IV of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement, the IMF holds bilateral discussions, known as "Article IV consultations", with member states, usually every year. Article IV consultation reports can be useful sources of financial and economic data for the assessment and diagnostic phase of an integrated national financing framework (INFF).

During this Article IV consultation, an IMF team of economists visited the Kyrgyz Republic

to assess economic and financial developments and discuss the country's economic and financial policies with government and central bank officials. Discussions were held in Bishkek during March 6–19 2019. The team met with Minister of Finance, Minister of Economy, Chairman of the National Bank, other senior officials, and representatives of the private sector, civil society, and the diplomatic community.
