This Selected Issues paper analyzes trends in Tanzania’s external competitiveness and export performance. Using various multilateral and bilateral real exchange rates, the paper looks at developments in Tanzania’s real effective exchange rate since 1990. It evaluates the misalignment in the real exchange rate based on results from an equilibrium real exchange rate model that accounts for changes in the economic fundamentals. An analysis of other qualitative aspects of competitiveness is presented, and an assessment of public domestic debt evolution in Tanzania is also provided.

In July, the IMF’s Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) released the findings of its review of the IMF-World Bank’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) process and the IMF’s Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF).The main aims of the wide-ranging evaluation were to determine whether these two initiatives have been implemented according to original expectations and whether the IMF has been sufficiently supportive of the broader PRSP process. David Goldsbrough, Acting Director of the IEO, spoke with Jacqueline Irving of the IMF Survey about the report’s findings.

Abstract

Esta Guía proporciona orientación clara y actualizada sobre los conceptos, definiciones y clasificaciones de la deuda externa bruta de los sectores público y privado, y sobre las fuentes, técnicas de compilación y usos analíticos de estos datos. Reemplaza a las anteriores directrices internacionales sobre las estadísticas de deuda externa publicadas en 1988 en Deuda Externa: Definición, cobertura estadística y metodología (conocido como el "Libro Gris"). El marco conceptual de esta Guía se deriva del Sistema de Cuentas Nacionales 1993 y de la quinta edición del Manual de Balanza de Pagos del FMI (1993). La preparación de esta Guía fue una tarea emprendida por el Grupo de tareas interinstitucional sobre estadísticas financieras, bajo la presidencia del FMI y con la participación de representantes del Banco de Pagos Internacionales, la Secretaría del Commonwealth, el Banco Central Europeo, Eurostat, la OCDE, la Secretaría del Club de Paris, UNCTAD y el Banco Mundial.

Ce guide supplante le guide international précédent des statistiques de la dette extérieure, « L'endettement international : définition, couverture statistique et méthodologie », paru en 1988 et connu sous l’appellation de Livre gris. Le cadre conceptuel du guide est issu du Système de comptabilité nationale 1993 et de la cinquième édition du Manuel de la balance des paiements du FMI (1993). Ce guide a été rédigé conjointement par l’équipe spéciale interinstitutions des statistiques des finances, présidée par le FMI et composée de représentants de la Banque des règlements internationaux, du secrétariat du Commonwealth, de la Banque centrale européenne, d'Eurostat, de l'OCDE, du secrétariat du Club de Paris, de la CNUCED et de la Banque mondiale.

This paper looks at the link between fiscal policy and debt sustainability in a number of African countries participating in the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative. The paper finds that, on the basis of current fiscal policies, debt levels will remain unsustainable even after these countries graduate from the HIPC Initiative. This finding has important policy implications. By the very requirements of the HIPC Initiative, these countries are expected to increase significantly their poverty-reducing expenditure-possibly resulting in weaker fiscal primary balances and worsening debt sustainability outlook. As offsetting fiscal tightening may not be viable, ensuring debt sustainability may thus require increased availability of (nondebt-creating) grants. Otherwise, debt sustainability in HIPC countries may prove elusive in the long term.

Uganda showed strong macroeconomic stability, low inflation, and poverty reduction under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) Arrangement. Executive Directors commended the monetary and exchange rate policies, and stressed the need to strengthen fiscal sustainability and maintain a healthy financial sector. They emphasized the need to improve the infrastructure, expand financial intermediation, enhance governance to improve the investment climate, and encourage private sector-led investment and growth. They agreed that Uganda has successfully completed the first review under the PRGF Arrangement, and approved waiver.

Abstract

This Guide provides clear, up-to-date guidance on the concepts, definitions, and classifications of the gross external debt of the public and private sectors, and on the sources, compilation techniques, and analytical uses of these data. The Guide supersedes the previous international guidance on external debt statistics available in External Debt: Definition, Statistical Coverage, and Methodology (known as the Gray Book), 1988. The Guides conceptual framework derives from the System of National Accounts 1993 and the fifth edition of the IMFs Balance of Payments Manual(1993). Preparation of the Guide was undertaken by an Inter-Agency Task Force on Finance Statistics, chaired by the IMF and involving representatives from the BIS, the Commonwealth Secretariat, the European Central Bank, Eurostat, the OECD, the Paris Club Secretariat, UNCTAD, and the World Bank.
