IMF Executive Board Concludes 2023 Article IV Consultation with Grenada
July 19, 2023
Grenada’ tourism-dependent economy continued to recover from the pandemic amidst rising energy and food prices. Growth is estimated to have reached 6.4 percent in 2022, driven by a tourism rebound and construction activity. Inflation rose moderately to 2.9 percent by end-2022, as the authorities’ policy response dampened the pass through from rising global food and fuel prices. Public debt is now back on a downward trend. The financial sector is well-capitalized and liquid although non-performing loans (NPLs) of credit unions have risen.

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva Urges G20 Leadership to Strengthen the Global Financial Safety Net
July 18, 2023
The global economy has shown some resilience. Despite successive shocks in recent years and the rapid rise in interest rates, global growth—although anemic by historical standards—remains firmly in positive territory, supported by strong labor markets and robust demand for services. That said, activity is slowing, especially in the manufacturing sector. Looking further ahead, medium-term growth prospects remain weak. Moreover, divergences in economic fortunes across countries are a persistent concern: some pockets of the global economy are doing well; others are weakening but still growing; and vulnerable countries are falling further behind.

IMF Executive Board Approves a US$271 million 38-month Arrangement Under the Extended Credit Facility for Burundi
July 17, 2023
The arrangement will help Burundi address its protracted balance of payments needs, reduce debt vulnerabilities, and cope with the effects of recent domestic and external shocks. Burundi’s post-COVID-19 economic recovery has slowed down, although still healthy. Spillovers of the war in Ukraine have triggered sharp increases in commodity prices and domestic inflationary pressures. Domestic shocks, including delayed rainfall, limited availability of fertilizer, and outbreaks of livestock fevers have impacted Burundi’s primary sector. External imbalances have heightened, with a widening current account deficit, low foreign exchange reserves, and a still large parallel foreign exchange (FX) market premium. Higher spending needs, including on fertilizers, social programs, and vaccines have deteriorated the fiscal path and raised fiscal financing needs.
