Use when an IMF Economic Review (IMFER) manuscript's exhibits must communicate an international-macro result to a dual academic/policy audience — transparent country coverage, readable cross-country panels, no significance asterisks. Builds the exhibits; it does not run the robustness behind them (imfer-robustness) or write the prose (imfer-writing-style).

# Tables and Figures (imfer-tables-figures)

## When to trigger

- A cross-country regression table is dense and the reader cannot find the headline coefficient
- Country/sample coverage is buried — a referee cannot tell which economies and years are in
- Impulse responses, event-study leads, or spillover paths need a figure that a policymaker can read at a glance
- Significance asterisks are still on the tables, or SEs/CIs are missing
- A map or panel-by-country exhibit would communicate the international margin better than a table
- A summary-statistics table omits the cross-country dispersion a referee needs to judge the sample

## What IMFER exhibits must do

IMFER exhibits serve two readers at once: a referee checking the econometrics and a policy reader who wants the magnitude and its country scope. So the **country coverage must be transparent** (which economies, which years, balanced or not), the **headline number must be findable**, and the **uncertainty must be visible as standard errors and confidence intervals — not asterisks**. The best IMFER figure is one that could appear in a WEO/GFSR chart pack *and* survive referee scrutiny: clear axis units, sample noted, mechanism legible.
