Abstract
Requests for Purchase under the Rapid Financing Instrument and Disbursement under the Rapid Credit Facility-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for the Solomon Islands
The updated DSA after the COVID-19 shock suggests Solomon Islands remains at moderate risk of debt distress for both the external and overall public debt. All external debt indicators remain below the relevant indicative thresholds under the baseline scenario but breach thresholds under the extreme stress test scenario (combination shock for the PV of debt-to-GDP and export shock for the PV of debt-to-export and the debt services to export ratio). The PV of public debt-to-GDP ratio remains below the 55 percent benchmark under the baseline scenario, and it would remain below the benchmark under the most extreme shock (real GDP growth) till 2030. A tailored natural disaster shock of similar scale to the largest shock in Solomon Islands’ history would cause a spike in debt trajectory in the aftermath of the event. While the DSA suggests there is substantial space to absorb shocks, Solomon Islands often faces fiscal liquidity challenges due to weak public financial management and the cash balance is currently low. Going forward, stronger revenue mobilization measures and expenditure rationalization are needed to rebuild fiscal buffers and to enhance resilience against shocks.
| Risk of external debt distress | Moderate3 |
| Overall risk of debt distress | Moderate |
| Granularity in the risk rating | Substantial space to absorb shocks |
| Application of judgment | No |
| Macroeconomic projections | The updated DSA incorporates a new set of macroeconomic assumptions reflecting the impacts of COVID-19 shock. Growth is expected to fall by 5.5 percent, as a result of a decline in logging, mining and fisheries exports, a contraction in tourism, as well as the negative impact of containment measures on domestic demand. Fiscal and current account deficits are expected to widen sharply. |
| Financing strategy4 | The RCF/RFI will help finance balance of payment needs. The World Bank has approved the first Solomon Islands transition to sustainable growth development policy operation of US$15 million (US$11.8 million in grant and US$3.2 million in loan), in addition to US$5 million under the COVID-19 Fast Track Facility expected to be approved by end May. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has released US$6 million from its Pacific Disaster Resilience Program and is processing an additional US$20 million, a policy-based operation anchored on the government’s COVID-19 response plan. The financing under the World Bank’s COVID-19 Fast Track Facility and ADB is expected to equally comprise grant and loan disbursements. |
