The economy is growing, inflation is receding, donor support is increasing, public debt is declining, and credit rating agencies have upgraded Suriname’s sovereign debt rating. The oil production from block 58 is set to begin in 2028 and the authorities are putting in place the institutions needed to transparently manage this resource windfall. Upon completion of this ninth review—the first ever IMF-supported program that Suriname will have completed—SRD 46.8 million (about USD 61.2 million) would be made available.

The technical assistance mission evaluated the Central Bank of Suriname’s (CBvS) communication on monetary policy and financial stability to enhance transparency, consistency, and stakeholder engagement. Recommendations include institutionalizing structured decision-making with fixed schedules for Monetary Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC) and Financial Stability Advisory Committee (FSAC) meetings, followed by policy-setting Executive Board sessions. These efforts should be supported by forward-looking publications, such as the Monetary Policy Report (MPR) and Financial Stability Report (FSR). Enhanced communication strategies, including proactive outreach and capacity-building programs, aim to align CBvS practices with international standards, strengthen credibility, regain public trust, and support its mandate for price and financial stability.

At the request of the Central Bank of Suriname (CBvS), this technical assistance (TA) mission assessed and provided recommendations to enhance the transparency, consistency, and stakeholder engagement of monetary policy and financial stability communication. Strengthening communication in these areas is critical to reinforcing the CBvS’s credibility, aligning its practices with international standards, and supporting its mandate for price and financial stability. The mission recommended institutionalizing structured decision-making by implementing fixed schedules for Monetary Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC) and Financial Stability Advisory Committee (FSAC) meetings, followed by policy-setting Executive Board sessions. These efforts should be supported by the introduction of forward-looking publications, including a Monetary Policy Report (MPR) and an enhanced Financial Stability Report (FSR), ensuring more structured and transparent communication. To further strengthen engagement, the report emphasizes the importance of proactive outreach and capacity-building programs to improve public understanding, foster market confidence, and reinforce CBvS’s credibility. Implementing these measures will enhance transparency, facilitate clearer communication of policy decisions, and help regain public trust in the CBvS’s commitment to monetary and financial stability.
