Summary

Guinea-Bissau is a fragile state facing significant development challenges, including sustaining the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, supply disruptions, and the global economic slowdown. The IMF Board approved a three-year ECF arrangement with access of 100 percent of quota (SDR 28.4 million) in January 2023. Building on the 2021 SMP achievements, the program supports a credible fiscal consolidation that ensures medium-term debt sustainability. The structural agenda to strengthen governance and AML/CFT framework will improve the management of fiscal resources and public investment, increase transparency and accountability and counter corruption.
