Description
Summary:The Latvian authorities have strengthened their intervention capacity, financial supervision, and monitoring framework, and have taken steps to contain risks in Parex Bank. The staff report reviews the Republic of Latvia's economic developments and policies. Substantial progress has been achieved in stabilizing the financial sector.
