Summary:
The growth momentum continues, driven by strong port activity, high cotton production, and the recovery of the Nigerian economy. The 2019 budget will bring the commitment-based fiscal deficit below the WAEMU convergence criterion of 3 percent of GDP next year. Program implementation remains satisfactory with all end-June 2018 quantitative performance criteria (QPCs) met; but the continuous QPC on non-accumulation of new domestic arrears was breached over March-June due to an institutional oversight.
