REGION: A busy month in the Caribbean for IMF
February 2022 was a busy month in the Caribbean for the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Amongst other activity, it concluded two Article IV Consultations, with final Executive Board approval, with Jamaica and Dominica; issued a ‘Concluding Statement’ following an Article IV mission to Belize; and reached a Staff-Level Agreement with Suriname following the first review of the December 2021 Extended Fund Facility (EFF). Post-coronavirus (Covid-19) recovery and debt sustainability were the threads that ran through all this activity.
