Today, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) completed the Third Review of Niger’s economic and financial program supported by the Extended Credit Facility arrangement (ECF). The ECF supported program aims at buttressing macroeconomic stability while laying the foundations for stronger and more inclusive growth. The completion of this review enables the disbursement of SDR 19.74 million (about US$ 26.3 million), bringing total disbursements under the ECF to SDR 138.18 million (about US$ 184.1 million). Niger’s three-year ECF for SDR 197.4 million (about US$ 275.8 million at the time of the ECF approval or 150 percent of quota) was approved on December 8, 2021 (see PR21/366) and was extended by six months until June 7, 2025.

A shortage of funding may force countries to reduce resources for critical development sectors like health, education, and infrastructure, weakening the region’s growth potential.Read the Report

The scam letters instruct potential victims to contact the IMF for issuance of a “Certificate of International Capital Transfer” or other forms of approval, to enable them receives large sums of monies as beneficiaries. The contact e-mail information is always BOGUS and unsuspecting individuals are then requested to send their personal banking details which the scammers utilize for their fraudulent activities.For more information please see Fraudulent Scam Emails Using the Name of the IMF
