IMF publications, such as the Auto Report and the quarterly journal Metal World, are available for download on the website. Users can also find information about the IMF, its history, structure and contact details for the head office and regional offices.
The website is published in English, French, Spanish and Russian, with some sections also available in German, Swedish and Italian.
