This paper discusses key findings of the Sixth Review under Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) for Benin. The macroeconomic outlook is weaker for 2009-10, reflecting the impact of the crisis. Real GDP growth is expected to slow down to about 3-4 percent in 2009-10. The authorities' policy response of allowing automatic fiscal stabilizers to work is appropriate. The implementation of structural reforms needs to be accelerated to enhance the competitiveness of Benin's economy and increase its resilience to exogenous shocks.
