Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Washington, DC \u2013 On 12 June 2023, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) completed the sixth and final review under The Gambia\u2019s Extended Credit Facility (ECF) arrangement. The completion of the review enables the disbursement of SDR 5 million (about US$ 6.66 million) to help meet the country\u2019s balance-of-payments and fiscal financing needs amid challenges, related primarily to the war in Ukraine and the lingering impacts of the pandemic. This disbursement brings the total disbursements under the ECF arrangement to SDR 70.55 million (about US$ 94 million).<\/b><\/p>\n

In completing the sixth review, the Executive Board also approved the authorities\u2019 request for a waiver for nonobservance of the continuous performance criterion on the accumulation of new external payment arrears by the central government, based on corrective actions taken by the authorities.<\/p>\n

The ECF arrangement for The Gambia was approved by the IMF\u2019s Executive Board on March 23, 2020, with an initial total access of SDR 35 million (or 56.3 percent of quota). Access under the ECF arrangement was augmented twice, at the completion of the first ECF review in January 2021 and at the completion of the fifth ECF review in December 2022. The Gambia has also benefitted from an IMF Rapid Credit Facility of SDR 15.55 million and received debt service relief from the IMF under the Catastrophe Containment and Relief Trust, totaling SDR 7.9 million.<\/p>\n

The repercussions of the war in Ukraine and the lingering impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic are weighing on The Gambia\u2019s socio-economic environment. Inflation pressures persist and are intensifying. The Gambian authorities are taking measures to address the exogenous shocks and remain committed to strong policies and reforms. The severe foreign exchange shortages that the country experienced in late 2022 have somewhat eased.<\/p>\n

Following the executive board discussion, Mr Bo Li, Deputy Managing Director and acting chair, made the following statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gambia\u2019s performance under the economic program supported by the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) has been broadly satisfactory despite challenges related to the war in Ukraine, the lingering impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, a major flooding, and trade disruptions. These shocks have constrained economic activity and intensified inflationary pressures and are weighing on the country\u2019s socio-economic environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite pressures, fiscal policy remains appropriately anchored on the approved 2023 budget. Given high debt vulnerabilities, efforts should continue to bolster domestic revenue mobilisation and prioritise investment projects. In anticipation of the expiration of the debt rescheduling period and to keep public debt on a downward path, it will be paramount to strengthen fiscal and external buffers by containing domestic borrowing, focusing on grants and highly concessional loans, and implementing a strong medium-term fiscal framework. Strengthening social safety nets remains important.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Central Bank has appropriately tightened its monetary policy stance to help tame inflationary pressures. The foreign exchange pressures have eased following the high tourism season and the exchange rate movements. Going forward, the central bank is encouraged to make full use of its policy toolkit to fight inflation and to continue to ensure that the exchange rate reflects market forces. Deepening and strengthening the financial sector would also be important.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe authorities made significant progress in their structural reform agenda, including in the areas of procurement and SOE institutional framework. They are encouraged to maintain this renewed reform momentum, including by preparing and enforcing the regulations of the newly approved laws, adopting the anti-corruption bill, implementing the recommendations from the recent IMF governance diagnostic mission, and improving financial inclusion and the business environment to support private sector-led growth and poverty reduction. The authorities\u2019 commitment to meet zero emission targets by 2050 is commendable.<\/p>\n
