| Shrnutí: | This paper discusses Benin's Request for a Three-Year Arrangement under the Extended Credit Facility. The new program aims to create fiscal space by stepping up domestic revenue mobilization and enhancing the efficiency of government spending; gradually increasing absorptive capacity to scale up investment; strengthening public debt management; and promoting private sector investment through stronger institutions and a better business environment while keeping debt sustainable. It will also aim to ensure that scaled-up public investment is consistent with debt sustainability. This is particularly important for Benin: recent borrowing has significantly reduced available fiscal space, and potential risks have materialized as a result of growth shortfalls, fiscal slippages, and contingent liabilities from state-owned enterprises. |
