Summary

Satisfactory policy implementation continues in the program under challenging conditions, but the uncertain economic, social, and political environment will test this commitment. The program is flexible to accommodate a partial pass-through of higher world oil prices to domestic fuel prices and further pro-poor spending, but ongoing fiscal discipline will be essential to achieve the program’s fiscal objectives. The implementation of revenue-enhancing measures will require political will. Executive Directors welcome the efforts to implement the broad range of reforms in extractive industries.
