The International Monetary Fund will set up a regional center in Shanghai to boost research in the Asia-Pacific region.

The new regional center will promote research and provide policy suggestions to emerging markets and middle-income countries, the IMF and the People's Bank of China said Wednesday in a joint statement.

The new center will collaborate with the China-IMF Capacity Development Center, which was formally inaugurated in Beijing by the PBOC and the IMF in 2018.
