The State-Level Compliance with IMF Program (SCIP) Dataset provides a wealth of information on IMF lending compliance with structural conditionality in three different units of analysis for the universe of IMF loans between 2002 and 2019. Compliance is given in the aggregate, by loan type (9 types of loans), policy type (prior actions, structural performance criteria, structural benchmarks, structural assessment criteria), and policy area (along 18 different policy areas). Compliance is also sorted into five categories that account for conditions which are waived, partially met, or modified as well as whether conditions were met or not met. The goals of IMF loans are provided for loans taken out from 2007-2019. The data also include the size of loans, tranche disbursement, the date a loan starts/end, the time between board reviews, whether loans were cancelled or precautionary, and accounts for the timing of prior actions completed prior to the start date.
