Summary

The country continues to face a highly challenging environment marked by the conflict
in the East, compounded by mounting humanitarian pressures. The situation continues
to strain public finances, with escalating security spending crowding out other essential
expenditure. Recent political transitions, including a government reshuffle and changes
of leadership at the central bank and the National Assembly, have not altered the
authorities’ firm commitment to the Fund-supported programs.
