Abstract

This paper presents Gambia’s Second Review under the Extended Credit Facility arrangement, Requests for a Waiver of Nonobservance of Performance Criterion, Modifications of Performance Criteria and Indicative Targets, and Financing Assurances Review. Economic recovery is strengthening, and inflation is gradually decreasing, although the pace remains slow. Based on the strength of the macroeconomic program, growth is projected at 5.9 percent in 2025 and around 5 percent in the medium term, though risks remain from global conflicts, commodity price shocks, and fluctuations in tourism and remittance flows. The country remains vulnerable to global shocks. Program performance has been affected by fiscal pressures and delays in reform implementation, but the authorities remain committed to overall program targets. Steadfast implementation of the policy and reform agenda will be essential to safeguard macroeconomic gains and debt sustainability.
