IMF Executive Board Concludes 2023 Article IV Consultation with St. Lucia

March 7 , 2024
St. Lucia’s tourist-dependent economy has rebounded strongly after the Covid-19 pandemic and the commodity import price shock due to Russia’s war in Ukraine. Output is currently near the pre-pandemic level, while higher government revenue has narrowed the fiscal deficit. Similarly, with the recovery of tourism, the current account deficit declined from the pandemic peak of 16 percent of GDP in 2020 to an estimated 2 percent of GDP in 2022. Though declining, public debt remains much higher than before the pandemic. The banking sector has adequate liquidity and is profitable, but NPLs are elevated.

People’s Republic of China—Macao Special Administrative Region: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2024 Article IV Mission

March 6 , 2024
China’s reopening in early 2023 breathed life into Macao SAR’s pandemic-hit economy. The gaming sector witnessed a sharp rebound, though non-gaming sector’s performance was less impressive. Despite the strong growth, inflation remained weak. Robust growth is expected to continue in 2024. In the near term, policies should focus on supporting the still incomplete recovery, strengthening financial stability, and deploying proactive policies to manage emerging financial risks. In the medium term, the priority is to facilitate the economy’s diversification and external rebalancing and enhance its resilience to future shocks through mutually reinforcing reforms and public investments in human capital and climate resilient infrastructure.
