IMF Executive Board Concludes 2024 Article IV Consultation with Iraq

May 15, 2024
Domestic stability has improved since the new government took office in October 2022, facilitating the passage of Iraq’s first three-year budget, which entailed a large fiscal expansion starting in 2023. This supported the strong recovery in Iraq’s non-oil economy after a contraction in 2022, while Iraq was largely unaffected by the ongoing conflict in the region. Domestic inflation declined to 4 percent by end-2023, reflecting lower international food prices, the currency revaluation as of February 2023, and the normalization in trade finance. However, imbalances have worsened due to the large fiscal expansion and lower oil prices.  

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2024 Article IV Consultation with St. Kitts and Nevis

May 15, 2024
Despite a continued strong tourism performance, growth fell to 3.4 percent in 2023 (from 8.8 percent in 2022) due to delays in public and private sector investment projects. Higher food and oil prices and shipping costs pushed average inflation to 3.6 percent, which subsided at end-2023. The current account deficit narrowed to 5.4 percent of GDP in 2023 (from 10.9 percent in 2022) supported by the robust tourism recovery.
