| Summary: | Lesotho's fiscal and external balances have deteriorated as a result of the global economic downturn and a surge in spending. Undertaking key fiscal adjustments to restore macroeconomic stability is necessary for raising Lesotho's growth potential.

Further strengthening of debt management and accelerating structural reforms is crucial for raising Lesotho's growth potential.
