The government of Guinea Bissau and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have reached a staff-level agreement for the implementation of a special reform program.

In a May 12 statement, the IMF reported that the deal is prior to the conclusion of a 9-month staff-monitored program designed to “gradually narrow large macroeconomic imbalances that have been intensified by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, strengthening governance and social safety nets and making progress towards more inclusive growth.”
