This collection of papers presents the First Post-Program Monitoring Discussions focusing on economic development in the Republic of Latvia.

Executive Directors have welcomed Latvia’s economic recovery since the crisis. Directors have commended the remarkable fiscal consolidation and have also emphasized the need for continued prudence to maintain fiscal and debt sustainability.
