IMF Executive Board Concludes 2023 Article IV Consultation with Botswana

August 31, 2023
Following a strong recovery of almost 12 percent growth in 2021, Botswana’s economy grew by 5.8 percent in 2022, significantly above the long-run average of 4 percent. The ongoing recovery from the pandemic primarily reflects elevated mining production. Inflation has declined sharply since August of 2022. After declining in 2022, FX reserves have stabilized and remained at adequate levels at end-2022. The unemployment rate remains elevated at 25 percent.  click for more

IMF Executive Board Completes the Second Review under the Extended Credit Facility Arrangement for Guinea-Bissau and Approves US$3.15 Million Disbursement

August 30, 2023
The economy has grown by 4.2 percent in 2022 and should recover only moderately to 4.5 percent in 2023. Growth has been negatively affected by low cashew exports and adverse external shocks which are weighing on Guinea-Bissau’s socio-economic environment. The surge in food and oil prices adds pressures on annual inflation which is expected to remain high at 7.0 percent. Budget execution is facing pressures. The overall fiscal deficit remained at 5.9 percent of GDP in 2022. Based on provisional data, the public debt increased to 80.3 percent of GDP in 2022, because of higher-than-projected overall fiscal deficit, new government guarantees mainly to the public utility company and the recognition of cross-arrears owed to suppliers with non-performing loans at the undercapitalized bank. Revenue mobilization and expenditure containment remain pivotal to prevent risks to debt sustainability and access to external financing. In discussions with the mission team, the new government resulting from the winning coalition of the June 4, 2023, legislative election expressed its commitment to implementing the program reform agenda.  click for more

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2023 Article IV Consultation with Singapore

August 29, 2023
Singapore’s post-pandemic recovery is nearly complete. Strong economic fundamentals and the authorities’ decisive policy responses, including an unprecedented policy stimulus, supported a rapid recovery from the COVID-19 shock. Following a sharp rebound of 8.9 percent in 2021, real GDP growth moderated to 3.6 percent in 2022, and weakened further to 0.4 percent (year on year) in 2023Q1, reflecting weaker global demand. Despite the solid post-pandemic recovery, consumer-facing services (except the retail sector) and construction, the hardest hit sectors during pandemic, remained below pre-pandemic levels. Inflation remained elevated and broad-based at about 5.7 percent in April 2023, despite recent signs of moderation. Inflation expectations, however, remain well-anchored.  click for more
