The Fourth Review Under the Policy Support Instrument (PSI) for Uganda highlights that the PSI-supported program is on track. All end-December 2011 quantitative assessment criteria were met, as were most of the structural benchmarks. The stance of macroeconomic policy remains appropriate. Monetary tightening, initiated in July 2011 in response to rising inflation, has been effective in reducing demand and price pressures in the economy. High interest rates supported by tighter fiscal policy have strengthened the currency and raised reserve levels.

Abstract

Le guide sur la transparence des recettes des ressources naturelles applique les principes du code de bonnes pratiques en matière de transparence des finances publiques (« le code ») à l'ensemble spécifique de problèmes auxquels sont confrontés les pays dont une part substantielle des revenus provient de telles ressources, ainsi qu'à la nécessité de faire face à la complexité technique et à la volatilité des flux de transactions. Il présente un panorama des bonnes pratiques ou des pratiques optimales généralement admises en matière de gestion transparente des recettes dégagées des ressources naturelles. Il sert de complément au manuel du FMI sur la transparence des finances publiques. Le guide a été revu pour incorporer les changements apportés au code et pour fournir des exemples récents de bonnes pratiques appliquées dans certains pays. Il offre un cadre d'évaluation des questions soulevées plus spécialement par les ressources naturelles dans les évaluations générales de la transparence des finances publiques (y compris les RONC). Ce guide est utilisé par les administrations des pays riches en ressources naturelles, la société civile, les prestataires d'appui technique et les chercheurs et observateurs intéressés par ces questions.

Abstract

La Guía sobre la transparencia del ingreso proveniente de los recursos naturales aplica los principios de la edición revisada del Código del FMI de buenas prácticas de transparencia fiscal ("el Código") al conjunto singular de problemas de transparencia que se les plantean a los países que obtienen una proporción considerable de sus ingresos públicos de los recursos naturales y que deben hacer frente a flujos de transacciones complejos y volátiles. En la Guía se identifican y explican buenas prácticas, o prácticas óptimas, de aceptación general en materia de transparencia en la gestión de los ingresos derivados de los recursos naturales. Esta Guía complementa el Manual de transparencia fiscal del FMI. La Guía se ha revisado para adaptarla al nuevo Código y proporciona ejemplos más recientes de buenas prácticas seguidas por países específicos. Se ha diseñado con el propósito de ofrecer un marco para evaluar cuestiones específicas relacionadas con los recursos naturales en el contexto de las evaluaciones generales de la transparencia fiscal (incluidos los "módulos fiscales" de los informes sobre la observancia de códigos y normas). La Guía es utilizada por autoridades del poder ejecutivo y legislativo de países ricos en recursos naturales, organizaciones de la sociedad civil, entidades que proporcionan respaldo técnico, profesionales del ámbito académico y otros observadores interesados.

Abstract

The Guide on Resource Revenue Transparency applies the principles of the revised IMF Code of Good Practices on Fiscal Transparency (‘the Code’) to the unique set of transparency problems faced by countries that derive a significant share of their revenues from natural resources and need to address complex and volatile transaction flows. The Guide identifies and explains generally recognized good or best practices for transparency of resource revenue management. It supplements the IMF Manual on Fiscal Transparency. The Guide has been revised to reflect the new Code and to provide more recent examples of good practice by individual countries. It is designed to give a framework for assessing resource-specific issues within broader fiscal transparency assessments (including so-called ‘fiscal ROSCs’). The Guide has been used by the governments and legislatures of resource-rich countries, civil societies, providers of technical support, and interested academics and observers.

This 2006 Article IV Consultation highlights that Papua New Guinea is enjoying its fourth year of recovery and macroeconomic stability, but major challenges lie ahead. Sound macroeconomic policies over the past several years have reduced fiscal vulnerabilities, lowered inflation, spurred business confidence, and boosted growth. High prices for key export commodities have strengthened the fiscal and external positions. However, progress toward achieving the country’s Medium-Term Development Strategy objectives or Millennium Development Goals has been limited. Recent developments and the near-term outlook remain favorable.

Papua New Guinea’s 2005 Article IV Consultation reports that the economy continues to perform well as the recovery maintains its momentum and the authorities adhere to disciplined fiscal and monetary policies. The central government budget has been estimated to be once more in surplus in 2005, as mining and petroleum revenue remain strong and overall expenditure is kept in check, resulting in a further reduction in public sector debt. Monetary policy has achieved a favorable combination of relatively low interest rates and inflation.

This 2004 Article IV Consultation highlights that Papua New Guinea’s macroeconomic performance has improved from mid-2003, helped importantly by the favorable temporary factors that boosted the mineral and agricultural sectors. In 2003, real GDP is estimated to have grown by 2.7 percent, following three years of decline. Coffee and cocoa production benefited from better weather conditions, and production of palm oil, rubber, tea, and copra oil also increased. Papua New Guinea’s medium-term economic outlook as outlined in the government’s development strategy is to achieve real GDP growth of 2½ percent annually in 2004–09.
