Islamic Republic of Mauritania: Ex Post Assessment of Longer-Term Program Engagement
International Monetary Fund
In this study, the ex post assessment (EPA) of longer program engagement with Mauritania is discussed. From this program, macroeconomic stability has been achieved. EPAs are intended to provide an opportunity to step back from continuing program relations to consider an analysis of the economic problems facing the country, review progress under IMF-supported programs, and draw forward-looking lessons for future IMF engagement. The newly designed poverty reduction strategy and ECF-supported program addresses the challenges identified by the EPA.

Islamic Republic of Mauritania: Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper: Joint Staff Advisory Note
International Monetary Fund
This Joint Staff Advisory Note provides World Bank and IMF staff analysis, and advices on key priorities to be strengthened during the implementation of the second Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP-2) in Mauritania. The PRSP-2 conveys an ambitious poverty reduction strategy based on a set of sound macroeconomic, structural, and sectoral policies to be implemented by 2015. The achievement of the PRSP-2 objectives will be difficult and will require a better prioritization in the context of absorptive capacity constraints and increasing and highly volatile public resources.

Islamic Republic of Mauritania: Sixth Review Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility Arrangement and Request for Waiver of a Performance Criterion
International Monetary Fund
This paper focuses on the Islamic Republic of Mauritania’s Sixth Review Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) and a Request for Waiver of Performance Criterion. Performance under the PRGF-supported program remained strong in 2002. All the quantitative and structural performance criteria and benchmarks were met except for the publication of the audit of the central bank accounts, which was delayed for technical reasons. The IMF staff commends the authorities for bringing to a successful conclusion the current PRGF Arrangement and for their impressive record on macroeconomic stability and structural reforms.

Islamic Republic of Mauritania: Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes-Fiscal Transparency Module
International Monetary Fund
This report assesses the Observance of Standards and Codes on Fiscal Transparency for the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. During the past few years, Mauritania has made considerable efforts to improve fiscal transparency. The withdrawal of the government from commercial activities and the banking sector has helped to clarify the role of government in the economy and reduced quasi-fiscal activities. The private sector has a new investment code and is benefiting from simplification of the tax system. The legislative framework underlying the budget is also complete.

The Choice Between External and Domestic Debt in Financing Budget Deficits: The Case of Central and West African Countries
Mr. Philippe Beaugrand
,
Mr. Montfort Mlachila
, and
Mr. Boileau Loko
The paper reviews the principles and practical considerations involved in the choice between foreign and domestic financing of fiscal deficits, and derives a series of recommendations broadly applicable to Central and West African countries. The paper develops a simple analytical framework and shows that highly concessional external debt is usually a superior choice to domestic debt in terms of financial costs and risks, even in the face of a probable devaluation. The paper stresses the importance of the availability and terms of financing, and of overall long-term debt sustainability. It concludes that these countries need to take a gradual approach to domestic debt financing, beginning with the issuance of short-term bills, and ensure a solid track record of meeting their debt-service obligations.
