It is worth noting that the official representative of the Fund, Julie Kozack, confirmed in a regular press briefing on September 12 that the International Monetary Fund is resuming consultations with Russia under Article IV of the charter, which were suspended due to the special military operation, as the economic situation in the country stabilizes.
