Michael Noonan met with the IMF in Washington yesterday to discuss what happens when Ireland leaves the programme in December.
Speaking after the meeting, Minister Noonan said Ireland is funded until 2015 and has 25 billion euro in reserve – so going it alone is still a "strong option".
It comes as the 12th and final review of the bailout begins in Dublin today.
