Summary:

This paper discusses key findings of the Third Review under the three-year arrangement for Grenada. All end-2008 quantitative targets were met. Meeting structural benchmarks on submitting investment legislation and a new Excise Bill and on completing a Country Poverty Assessment has been delayed owing to the time required to consult stakeholders, to finalize the list of excisable goods, and to complete the technical work and drafting, respectively. The performance criterion on initiating reorganization or liquidation of Capital Bank was met in November 2008.
