The government is urged to prepare a quality poverty reduction strategy paper as quickly as possible. Progress has been made in preparing to implement the value-added tax and the new customs tariffs. The government’s strong track record of pursuing prudent fiscal and monetary policies while redirecting public expenditures toward key social services is commended.
