Summary

Economic recovery is underway, supported by the resumption of social activities, tourism, and ongoing public investment projects. Inflation has decelerated, in line with normalizations in international oil and food prices thus far in 2023. However, risks to the outlook are elevated due to the fragile context and global uncertainty; dependence on imports, remittances, and foreign aid means the economy remains highly vulnerable to external shocks. In this context, the economic reform program supported by the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) seeks to reduce fragility and increase economic resilience by building fiscal buffers, reducing debt vulnerabilities, strengthening the financial sector, and mitigating corruption risks.
