Does imf.org block AI crawlers?

No. imf.org had no robots.txt when we checked on October 19, 2026 (HTTP 404), so all 17 AI crawlers we check are allowed everywhere by default.

It has no llms.txt (HTTP 404). The homepage answered HTTP 429 to ContextFetchBot, so there was nothing to measure.

Each crawler, by its robots.txt rules

https://imf.org/robots.txt answered HTTP 404: no robots.txt, so no rules apply to any crawler.
