Dominica: Seventh Review Under the Three-Year Arrangement Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility and Financing Assurances Review
International Monetary Fund
This paper discusses key findings of the Seventh Review Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) for Dominica. Policy implementation under the program has remained strong. All end-June 2006 performance criteria were met, and all indicative targets for end-June and end-September were met with comfortable margins. Progress has been made on the structural benchmarks for the Seventh Review. Fiscal performance in FY2005/06 was commendably strong, and the FY2006/07 budget reflects a continuation of strong fiscal policies.

Dominica: Second Review Under the Three-Year Arrangement Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility and Request for Waiver of Performance Criterion
International Monetary Fund
The staff report for the Second Review Under the Three-Year Arrangement Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility on Dominica focuses on macroeconomic framework and fiscal policy. The program has been based on the expectation that Dominica will achieve a collaborative debt restructuring with its creditors that meets the residual near-term financing needs and ensures medium-term debt sustainability. The authorities continue to make progress in implementing the structural reform agenda, which aims to address the root causes of the macroeconomic imbalances and to remove impediments to growth.

Dominica: First Review Under the Stand-By Arrangement and Requests for Extension of the Arrangement and for Waiver of Performance Criteria
International Monetary Fund
A 12-month Stand-By Arrangement was approved to help Dominica deal with external shocks, rising public debt, and a prolonged economic downturn. Discussions focused on the appropriate mix between adjustment and financing. The authorities will also continue to strengthen the public sector investment program (PSIP) and the social safety net. Dominica's debt dynamics present an important challenge that will require continued fiscal efforts and exceptional financial support. In light of the proposed strengthened program and decisive ownership, the IMF staff recommends completion of the first review and extension of the arrangement.
