    The Honorable Matthew G. Martinez

    House of Representatives

    Dear Mr. Martinez:

          Subject: Salaries and Benefits of International
                    Monetary Fund Employees (GAO/NSIAD-85-120)

         This report provides information on compensation received
    by   International Monetary   Fund   (IMF) employees and    is   in
    response to your letter of June 3, 1985, inquiring about IMF
    salaries and benefits.

         The enclosed    information listing salary rates and      the
    number of employees receiving those salaries was received from
    the Department of the Treasury, which manages U.S. participation
    in the IMF.

          IMF employees, other than U.S. citizens, generally do not
    pay income taxes on the salaries they receive.      Therefore, IMF
    salaries of non-U.S. employees are net or take home sala-
    ries.   U.S. citizens of the IMF receive a supplement to their
    salaries in recognition of the U.S. income taxes that they pay
    on their salaries.    Therefore, for the purpose of comparison,
    Treasury included for 1984 estimates of the equivalent pre-
    income tax salaries paid to U.S. IMF employees to make their
    salaries comparable to those paid to non-U.S IMF employees.

         We are unable to include benefits data with the salary
    scale because, according to the Treasury, the IMF does not pro-
    vide total compensation figures.

         Treasury also informed us that IMF employees may be eligi-
    ble for a variety of low interest rate loans depending upon
    employee circumstances and needs.     For the purchase of a first
    home in the Washington, D.C. area, an employee may borrow up to
    18 months' net salary or one-third of the purchase price,
    whichever is less.    Such a loan is repayable as follows:       12
    months' salary at a 5 percent interest rate over 12 years, or at
    a 4 percent interest rate over 6 years; and 6 months' salary at
    the rate charged for federally insured veterans' mortgages over
    20 years. An employee may also borrow for the education of

                                 ~                            (486001)
