### Summary of macro-fiscal developments (1990–94)
- Review period: 1990–94.
- In the public finances, the current account of the nonfinancial public sector (before grants) shifted from balance in 1991 to a deficit of 3.8 percent of GDP in 1994.
- With the lack of foreign financing, capital investment fell to low levels over the period.
- The overall deficit (before grants) declined from 4.5 percent of GDP to 4.2 percent of GDP.
- The deficit was financed mainly by recourse to central bank credit and the accumulation of arrears.
