Abstract

Despite a challenging environment, the authorities have broadly shown strong commitment to the reforms proposed in the program. Challenges to fuel and electricity supply have undermined economic growth, revenue mobilization, and government liquidity. Further, volatile spending weakened budget credibility. Public debt increased rapidly last year driven by regional issuances, and the authorities have ambitious borrowing plans for 2024. Thus, boosting revenue collection—particularly from fuel imports—and strengthening spending management will be key to preserving macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability.
