IMF Staff Concludes Visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo

February 15, 2023
“Preliminary data show significantly stronger real GDP growth in 2022 than previously anticipated. Growth is now estimated at 8.5 percent, as stronger-than-expected mining production (which grew at about 20 percent) more than compensated for a downward revision to non-extractive growth (to 3.2 percent from 3.9 percent). Annual inflation reached 13.1 percent at end-2022 on account of higher food, energy, and transport prices. Preliminary data also suggest that the current account deficit widened in 2022, due to strong import growth and deteriorated terms of trade. Despite this deterioration, the Central Bank of Congo (BCC) has reported gross international reserves at US$4.6 billion, about $300 million above the previous projection. The 2022 overall fiscal balance is estimated to have deteriorated as spending increased to address the security situation and arrears repayments.  

Colombia: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2023 Article IV Mission

February 14, 2023
The new administration took office in August 2022, with social equity and climate at the center of its agenda. Against a backdrop of high inflation and elevated fiscal and current account deficits, monetary and fiscal policies are being appropriately tightened, facilitating the needed transition towards more sustainable and inclusive growth. The approval of the 2022 tax reform, the prudent 2023 Financing Plan, the reaffirmation of the inflation target and the associated tightening of monetary policy are especially noteworthy and consistent with Colombia’s very strong policy implementation. The balance of risks around the outlook remains tilted to the downside, albeit somewhat moderated by a less gloomy global outlook. As such, macroeconomic policies should continue to be tight to prioritize a durable reduction in inflation and external imbalances. Prudently advancing key structural reforms , coupled with a continually strengthened communication strategy , will be essential to boost productivity, enhance inclusiveness, and ensure a gradual and well-sequenced transition to a greener and more diverse economy.
