*
The STF was a temporary IMF financing facility that provided assistance to
member countries facing balance of payments difficulties arising from severe
disruptions in their trade and payments arrangements owing to a shift from
reliance on trading at nonmarket prices to multilateral market-based trade.
**
The PRGF was replaced by ECF in 2009.
