Abstract

This paper presents Third Reviews under the Arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and the Arrangement under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) and Request for Rephasing of Access under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility for Seychelles. The completion of the reviews allows for an immediate disbursement of about US$12.1 million to help strengthen macroeconomic stability, boost growth, and strengthen fiscal and monetary policy frameworks, while also supporting efforts to strengthen resilience to climate change, exploit synergies with other sources of official financing, and catalyze financing for climate-related investments. Economic growth in Seychelles appears to have slowed relative to earlier forecasts, reflecting lower tourist arrivals and lower tourist spending in second quarter and third quarter. Inflation remains low, fiscal performance in the first half the year was tighter than budgeted, and central bank accumulation of foreign exchange reserves was above the program target. Performance under the EFF and RSF programs has been good. All quantitative targets for end-June 2024 were met, and significant progress has been made on structural benchmarks under the EFF and reform measures under the RSF.
