Macroeconomic Policy in Fragile States
Setting macroeconomic policy is especially difficult in fragile states. Macroeconomic Policy in Fragile States addresses the many issues involved and considers ways to improve the effectiveness of macroeconomic management in the face of these constraints.
Evaluation of the Technical Assistance Provided by the International Monetary Fund
Technical assistance is one of the key services provided by the IMF to member countries—particularly lower income countries. It covers a wide set of activities, from technical assistance to support IMF policy advice to longer-term assistance to support countries’ institutional development. This evaluation report examines the relevance and effectiveness of IMF technical assistance, and derives recommendations for both IMF management and the Executive Board.
Gabon
This paper discusses Gabon’s Second Review of the Extended Arrangement Under the Extended Fund Facility, Requests for Waivers of Nonobservance of Performance Criteria and Waivers of Applicability, and Financing Assurances Review. The short-term outlook for Gabon remains challenging. Although a growth rebound in 2018 is expected given good prospects for foreign direct investment and higher oil prices, low non-oil revenue collections and tight short-term liquidity conditions at the Treasury will require decisive implementation of the recently announced fiscal consolidation plan. Timely clearance of domestic arrears is needed to strengthen banks’ balance sheets and increase credit to the private sector to support growth, while clearance of external arrears is crucial to maintain Gabon’s creditworthiness and access to external financing.
Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Princípe
This paper discusses São Tomé and Príncipe’s 2018 Article IV Consultation, Fifth Review Under the Extended Credit Facility, Request for Waivers for Nonobservance of Performance Criteria, and Financing Assurances Review. São Tomé and Príncipe’s GDP growth in 2017 is estimated at about 4 percent, similar to the previous two years. Inflation spiked to 7.7 percent at end 2017, caused by unfavorable weather conditions and an increase in import taxes on selective goods. Fiscal consolidation continued albeit at a slower pace than expected. The macroeconomic outlook is positive. Growth is expected to remain at 4 percent in 2018 and to accelerate to 5 percent in the medium term as new externally-financed projects get under way.
Guinea
The Guinean economy is growing at a faster than anticipated pace on the back of buoyant mining activity. The growth momentum is expected to continue, with real growth at about 6 percent in 2018 and over the medium term. However, risks of instability are heightened by the current electoral cycle.
Guinea- Bissau
This 2017 Article IV Consultation highlights that Guinea-Bissau’s commitment to the Extended-Credit-Facility-supported program is strong and the results are apparent. The economy is growing strongly and the fiscal position has improved markedly. Supported by favorable terms of trade, real GDP growth averaged almost 6 percent in 2015–16, with a surplus on the external current account and inflation below 2 percent a year. Public financial management has improved and the 2017 fiscal deficit is projected to fall under 2 percent of GDP. The outlook is broadly favorable, with growth projected at 5 percent over the medium term.
Global Financial Stability Report, October 2018
In the 10 years since the global financial crisis, regulatory frameworks have been enhanced and the banking system has become stronger, but new vulnerabilities have emerged, and the resilience of the global financial system has yet to be tested.
Rwanda
This paper discusses Rwanda’s Eighth Review Under the Policy Support Instrument (PSI) and Request for Extension, and Third Review Under the Standby Credit Facility (SCF). The existing PSI and SCF arrangement have supported Rwanda’s efforts to address external imbalances, thereby supporting continued strong growth and durable poverty reduction. The SCF arrangement added a financing component to the existing PSI-supported program, which aims to promote private-sector led growth through safeguarding macroeconomic stability, including through external sustainability, fiscal sustainability based on continued improvements in domestic resource collection, low and stable inflation, and enhancing access to credit and deepening the financial sector.

Central African Republic
This paper discusses Central African Republic’s Third Review Under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) Arrangement, Requests for Waiver of Nonobservance of Performance Criterion, Modification of PCs, Augmentation of Access, And Financing Assurances Review. Program performance through end-June has been satisfactory. All quantitative criteria and indicative targets were met, with the exception of the domestic revenue target for which the authorities are taking corrective actions and a waiver of nonobservance was granted. All structural reforms have been implemented, albeit with some delays. The IMF staff supports completion of the third review under the ECF arrangement and the waiver of nonobservance of PCs on domestic revenue, on the basis of the corrective actions taken.
