IMF Staff Concludes Visit to Lebanon

September 15, 2023
“Lebanon has not undertaken the urgently needed reforms, and this will weigh on the economy for years to come. The lack of political will to make difficult, yet critical, decisions to launch reforms leaves Lebanon with an impaired banking sector, inadequate public services, deteriorating infrastructure, worsening poverty and unemployment conditions, and a further widening of the income gap. Inflation remains in triple digits, further compressing real incomes, and foreign exchange (FX) reserves continued to decline in the first half of the year, including due to Banque du Liban's (BdL’s) financing of quasi-fiscal operations and the large current account deficit.”  click for more

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2023 Article IV Consultation with the Republic of Latvia

September 12, 2023
The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with the Republic of Latvia. Latvia is facing an inflation shock, slow growth, and geopolitical challenges. After averaging 17.2 percent in 2022, headline inflation remained elevated at 12.3 percent y/y in May, largely driven by high energy and food price increases. Core inflation also accelerated to 12.4 percent y/y in May, as the second-round effects of energy prices were broad-based and much stronger than anticipated. The tight labor markets will continue to push up wages, thereby adding to inflationary pressures. Real GDP growth slowed to 2.8 percent in 2022 from 4.3 percent in 2021, largely reflecting lower increase in inventories and slower fixed investment growth. The government will have to continue to deal with the spillovers in the Baltic region from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the impact of sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus, the cost-of-living crisis, and energy security.  click for more

Guyana Staff Concluding Statement of the 2023 Article IV Mission

September 11, 2023
The Guyanese economy continues to grow very rapidly, supported by the government’s modernization plans, including the unparalleled oil sector expansion.

Oil production is ramping up with the coming on stream of a third oil field, and growth in the non-oil sector is supported by the implementation of a fast-paced public investment program focused on providing transportation, housing, and flood management infrastructure, and raising human capital.  click for more
