In what seems like a blink of an eye, 2019 came and went. The frequency of events and developments left little time for contemplation, and, in many respects left more questions than answers. We covered some of these on IMFBlog, and we hope our analysis succeeded in providing our readers with answers.
Throughout 2019, the blogs that our readers sought out tended to focus on the “what’s next?” Digital currencies, new trade paradigms, and subdued economic growth were some of the topics generating the most interest.
To close out 2019, here is our list of the top ten blogs of the year based on readership.
All the editors at IMFBlog wish you a peaceful and interesting year ahead.
