Mali: Technical Assistance Report-Mining Taxation: Modeling of Five Mining Operations
International Monetary Fund. Fiscal Affairs Dept.
This paper discusses Malian mining taxation. Mali’s industrial mining sector is predominantly gold mining, with six industrial mines currently active. Most of the mines are old, but some have substantial reserves; extensions are planned for the Syama, Morila, Kalama, Tabakoto-Segela, and Loulo-Gounkoto mines. The Fiscal Analysis for Resource Industries model was completed for five new projects with recent feasibility studies. The government revenue contributed by the five new projects is on the order of US$1.7 billion (constant dollars) over the next 10 years. The application of the 1999 or 2012 Mining Code increases the government’s share of income in comparison with the 1991 code.

Mali: Rapport d'assistance technique — fiscalité minière : modélisation de cinq exploitations minières
International Monetary Fund. Fiscal Affairs Dept.
La plupart des mines sont anciennes mais leurs réserves en minerai demeure importantes pour certaines d’entre-elles. Ainsi des extensions sont envisagées pour les mines de Syama, Morila, Kalama, Tabakoto-Segela et Loulo-Gounkoto. Une mine, Robex, devrait entrer en production prochainement et une étude de faisabilité a été déposée pour la mine de Fekola. Les aménagements de la mine de Kodiéran, détenue par Wassoul’or, pourraient reprendre au cours de l’année 2015, suite au versement de plus de 7 milliards de FCFA aux différents créanciers. Ainsi, la tendance baissière de la production d’or au Mali pourrait s’inverser durablement dans les prochaines années si le prix du marché mondial demeurerait à son niveau actuel.

Subsidy Reform in the Middle East and North Africa: Recent Progress and Challenges Ahead

Ms. Giorgia Albertin
In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries price subsidies are common, especially on food and fuels. However, these are neither well targeted nor cost effective as a social protection tool, often benefiting mainly the better off instead of the poor and vulnerable. This paper explores the challenges of replacing generalized price subsidies with more equitable social safety net instruments, including the short-term inflationary effects, and describes the features of successful subsidy reforms.

Islamic Republic of Mauritania: 2008 Article IV Consultation and Third Review Under the Three-Year Arrangement Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility-Staff Report; Staff Supplement; Public Information Notice and Press Release on the Executive Board Discussion; and Statement by the Executive Director for the Islamic Republic of Mauritania
International Monetary Fund
This 2008 Article IV Consultation highlights that Mauritania’s macroeconomic performance over recent years was satisfactory, despite a steeper-than-expected decline in oil production reflecting persistent technical problems a and difficult external environment. The real non-oil GDP growth is estimated to have increased to 5.9 percent in 2007 driven by a rebound in agriculture and new mining projects. The current account deficit deteriorated, reflecting higher food prices and lower oil exports. Executive Directors have commended the authorities for Mauritania’s continued satisfactory performance under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility-supported program.

Islamic Republic of Mauritania: Second Review Under the Three-Year Arrangement Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility and Request for a Waiver of Performance Criterion: Staff Report; Staff Supplement; Press Release on the Executive Board Discussion; and Statement by the Executive Director for the Islamic Republic of Mauritania
International Monetary Fund
The staff report for the Second Review Under the Three-Year Arrangement Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility highlights the Islamic Republic of Mauritania’s economic and financial policies. The basic non-oil fiscal balance was significantly higher than projected, owing mainly to high fiscal revenues and delays in investment spending. Monetary policy remained prudent, contributing to a further decline in inflation. In view of its limited oil revenue prospects, Mauritania needs to continue mobilizing concessional support to finance its poverty reduction strategy.
