IMF Executive Board Concludes First Post Financing Assessment Discussions with Angola

September 5 , 2023
Successful reforms coupled by firmed oil prices supported the Angola’s economic recovery in 2021–22, however, declined oil production has led to significant challenges to the economy. Towards the end of 2022 and the first half of 2023, the oil sector weakened due to the extension of temporary maintenance operations. With declines of both oil prices and production in the first half of 2023, exports and oil revenues declined, resulting in a weakness in the fiscal and external sectors, and a significant depreciation in the nominal exchange rate in June 2023. Following the strong nominal exchange rate depreciation and the partial removal of fuel subsidies, inflation increased in June, to 11.3 percent (from 10.6 percent); for the first time in 15 consecutive months; whereby the BNA (Banco Nacional de Angola) responded by tightening liquidity conditions.  

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2023 Article IV Consultation with the Republic of Lithuania

September 5 , 2023
Lithuania weathered a series of unprecedented external shocks, owing to resilient macroeconomic fundamentals and a decisive policy response. Recently, however, high inflation and rising interest rates have affected disposable incomes which, combined with weak external demand, resulted in an economic contraction in the last quarter of 2022 and early 2023. At the same time, the labor market has remained broadly resilient with high wage growth, albeit negative in real terms, and has supported domestic demand for a year until July.
