Historia archivística
Although the records in this series were created or received by Masood Ahmed during his employment with the International Economics Department, the records in this series were transferred to the Archives from the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Network (PREM). This is because Masood Ahmed did not immediately transfer all of the records in his possession upon his move from the International Economics Department (IEC) to PREM. When the records were ultimately transferred to the Archives in 1998 and1999, they were accompanied by records Ahmed created and received while serving as Vice President of PREM. These records have been placed in the Records of the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Network (WB IBRD/IDA PREM)
