Implementation of HIPC Initiative
Assistance committed under the original framework is expressed in net present value (NPV) terms at the completion point, and assistance committed under the enhanced framework is expressed in NPV terms at the decision point. Hence, these two amounts cannot be added.
Under the enhanced framework, an additional disbursement is made at the completion point corresponding to interest income earned on the amount committed at the decision point but not disbursed during the interim period.

Implementation of Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI)
The MDRI provides 100 percent debt relief to eligible member countries that qualified for the assistance. Grant assistance from the MDRI Trust and HIPC resources provide debt relief to cover the full stock of debt owed to the Fund as of end-2004 that remains outstanding at the time the member qualifies for such debt relief.

Decision point - point at which the IMF and the World Bank determine whether a country qualifies for assistance under the HIPC Initiative and decide on the amount of assistance to be committed.
Interim assistance - amount disbursed to a country during the period between decision and completion points, up to 20 percent annually and 60 percent in total of the assistance committed at the decision point (or 25 percent and 75 percent, respectively, in exceptional circumstances).
Completion point - point at which a country receives the remaining balance of its assistance committed at the decision point, together with an additional disbursement of interest income as defined in footnote 2 above. The timing of the completion point is linked to the implementation of pre-agreed key structural reforms (i.e., floating completion point).
Implementation of Catastrophe Containment and Relief (CCR)
Not Applicable
Safeguards Assessments
The Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) is a common central bank of the countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAMU). In accordance with safeguards policy requirements for regional central banks, a quadrennial safeguards assessment of the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) was completed in 2018. The assessment found that the central bank has maintained a strong control environment since the last assessment in 2013 and its governance arrangements are broadly appropriate. In addition, audit arrangements have been strengthened, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) were adopted as the accounting framework beginning with the 2015 financial statements, and a 2016 external quality review of the internal audit function found broad conformity with international standards. The BCEAO’s risk management framework established in 2014 is also progressing well with implementation of its work across the bank.
Exchange Arrangement
Niger is a member of the WAEMU and has no separate legal tender. The union’s common currency, the CFA franc, is pegged to the Euro at a rate of CFAF 655.957 = EUR 1, consistent with the official conversions rate of the French franc to the Euro and the previous fixed rate of the CFA franc to the French franc of CFAF 100 = FF 1. Effective January 1, 2007, the exchange arrangement of the WAEMU countries has been classified to the category of conventional pegged arrangement from the category of exchange arrangement with no separate legal tender. Niger maintains an exchange system free of restrictions on the making of payments and transfers for current international transactions subject to Fund jurisdiction.
Article IV Consultations
The last completed Article IV consultation discussions were held in Niamey in October 2016. The staff report (Country Report No. 17/59) was discussed by the Executive Board, and the 2016 Article IV consultation concluded, on January 23, 2017.

Statistical Issues
| A. Assessment of Data Adequacy for Surveillance |
| General: Data provision has some shortcomings but is broadly adequate for surveillance. Real sector statistics: The national accounts are compiled on an annual basis by the National Institute of Statistics (INS), in accordance with the System of National Accounts 1993 (SNA93) and with 2006 as base year. With the assistance of AFRITAC West, the INS has rebased its national accounts (2015 will be the new base year) according to the System of National Accounts 2008. The INS has started working on quarterly national accounts and plans to start publishing them in 2020. |
| The INS has been compiling and publishing a national harmonized consumer price index (CPI) with 2014 as the base year using weights from the survey on living conditions and agriculture (ECVMA) conducted in 2011 and updated in 2014. |
| Government finance statistics: Monthly government finance statistics are compiled by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) with a one- to four-month lag, based on information provided by the budget, customs, tax, and treasury directorates. The MOF reconciles the monthly spending commitments made by the budget directorate with the payments made by the treasury, but the results are not disseminated to the general public. Data are limited to the operation of the budgetary central government that covers the general budget, special funds, and operations of the treasury special accounts, but not the social security administration. Niger currently produces the 1998 TOFE (the harmonized table of government financial operations) based on the Government Finance Statistics Manual 1986 (GFSM 1986) with some inconsistencies between above and below the line data. However, the authorities are working toward implementing the Directive nº10/2009/CM/UEMOA on the TOFE, which will imply migrating to the GFSM 2001. Niger does not report GFS data to STA. |
| Monetary and financial statistics: Monthly Monetary and Financial Statistics (MFS) are compiled and disseminated by the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO). In August 2016, the BCEAO completed the migration of Niger’s MFS to the standardized report forms (SRFs) for the central bank and other depository corporations. Since November 2016, the BCEAO has continuously transmitted Niger’s SRF-based MFS to the IMF’s Statistics Department for publication in International Financial Statistics. Niger reports data on some key series and indicators of the financial access survey (FAS), including mobile money and the two indicators of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. |
| Financial Sector Surveillance: With technical assistance from the IMF’s Statistics Department, the BCEAO has compiled a set of FSIs for deposit takers with quarterly frequency. However, while the BCEAO has used FSIs for its internal purposes, it has not yet granted approval to publish the data on the IMF’s FSI website. |
| External Sector Statistics: Since 2011, the balance of payments and international investment positions (IIP) statistics are compiled in conformity with the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, Sixth Edition (BPM6). The national agency of the BCEAO is responsible for compiling and disseminating these statistics, and the BCEAO headquarters for delineating the methodology and calculating the international reserves managed on behalf of the participating countries. Niger has caught up with the backlog of unpublished balance of payments and IIP statistics, which are now available both on the BCEAO website and in IFS and the Balance of Payments Statistics Yearbook (BOPSY). Niger has participated in the Coordinated Direct Investment Survey (CDIS) since 2012. |
| B. Data Standards and Quality |
| Niger has participated in the GDDS/e-GDDS since 2002. A data ROSC was published in 2006. |
