As part of an obligation under Article IV of the Articles of Agreement, Thailand is subject to an annual economic review by the IMF – a “consultation” between the IMF staff and authorities. In addition, Thailand has accepted obligations under Article VIII of the Articles of Agreement (http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/aa/aa08.htm) since 4 May 1990, to impose on restrictions on payments and transfers of current account transactions. Most recently, Thailand participated in the joint IMF/World Bank Financial Sector Assessment Program 2/ (FSAP) in 2007.
