Finland har varit medlem i Internationella valutafonden sedan 1948. Enligt lagen svarar Finlands Bank för kontakterna mellan finska staten och IMF och har också betalat Finlands medlemskvot i IMF genom att placera delar av sin valutareserv i fonden.
Valutafonden har som mål att främja en sund ekonomisk utveckling och stabila valutaförhållanden i medlemsländerna. I detta syfte följer fonden den ekonomiska utvecklingen i sina medlemsländer. Tyngdpunkten i granskningen ligger på de bilaterala konsultationerna enligt avtalsartikel IV. I de flesta medlemsländer hålls konsultationer en gång per år.
Valutafonden kan bevilja medlemsländerna tillfällig kredit för att trygga deras betalningsberedskap mot utlandet. För utvecklingsländerna finns en särskild lånefacilitet.
I valutafondens direktion har valkretsen för de nordiska och de baltiska länderna en gemensam representant. Valkretsens samarbetsorgan är den nordisk-baltiska monetära och finansiella kommittén med representanter från centralbankerna och finansministerierna samt dess ställföreträdarkommitté.
Finansministeriet svarar för Finlands relationer med fondens systerorganisation Världsbanken.
