This book was released on 2009-08-14 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses key findings of the Sixth Review under Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) for Benin. The macroeconomic outlook is weaker for 2009-10, reflecting the impact of the crisis. Real GDP growth is expected to slow down to about 3-4 percent in 2009-10. The authorities' policy response of allowing automatic fiscal stabilizers to work is appropriate. The implementation of structural reforms needs to be accelerated to enhance the competitiveness of Benin's economy and increase its resilience to exogenous shocks.

The program achieved most of its objectives. The main macroeconomic challenge ahead is to mitigate the impact of the crisis in the short term, while reaching higher sustainable growth over the medium term.

This book was released on 2008-07-16 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2008 Article IV Consultation highlights that in the last two years, Benin has experienced a pickup in growth and low inflation supported by prudent fiscal policies and external debt relief. However, progress in addressing core economic vulnerabilities has fallen short of expectations, and the external environment has become less favorable with a strengthening CFA franc adding to competitiveness concerns and surging food and fuel prices accentuating a deterioration in the terms of trade. The surplus on the narrowly defined primary budget is projected to decline to 0.5 percent of GDP in 2008.
