Rwanda

This Technical Assistance Report discusses the findings and recommendations made by the IMF mission to assist authorities in Rwanda in aligning the compilation and dissemination of government finance statistics (GFS) in accordance with the Government Finance Statistics Manual 2014. It was recommended that the Ministry of Finance (MINECOFIN) should officially assign GFS compilation duties to a specific subset of its staff. The mission believes that it is important for the MINECOFIN to make a “permanent” assignment of GFS compilation and dissemination duties so that the work can evolve systematically. In the mission’s view, the Macroeconomic Policy Unit appears to be well placed to perform this task. However, the unit should be allocated appropriate resources to take on the responsibility.

Ukraine

Three years of war have taken a staggering social, humanitarian, and economic toll. Efforts to end the war, and potential changes to international support retain the exceptionally high uncertainty to the outlook. Yet, the authorities’ commitment to reforms and fulfillment of all necessary Fund policies support completion of the review. First, the authorities, despite some slippages in the governance sphere, have continued to implement important reforms, including adopting the landmark reform for new administrative courts; they will also enact a law on tobacco excise taxes (prior action). Second, individual agreements under the US$50 billion Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration Loans Initiative for Ukraine (ERA) are nearing finalization, providing multi-year financing commitments, which the authorities will utilize consistent with program parameters.
