Sommario/riassunto

The Political Economy of Rule Evasion and Policy Reform develops the logic underlying the connections between breaking the rules and making the rules. Approaching policy issues from the point of view of rule circumvention provides a perspective that illuminates a wide variety of phenomena:* implicit tolerance of extensive illegal behaviour, treadmills of reform, delays of major policy changes* the complexity of rules* potential for perverse outcomes from policy reforms* corruption of enforcers* trade-offs between a rule-based and a discretionary policy.

Sommario/riassunto

This paper discusses Sierra Leone’s Sixth Review Under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) Arrangement, Financing Assurances Review, and Request for Waiver for Nonobservance of Performance Criteria. Growth is expected to reach 6.5 percent in the medium term. However, risks to the outlook are firmly to the downside. Revenues are too low to finance key infrastructure projects. Iron ore production has become moderately profitable, but there is downside risk to iron ore prices. The IMF staff supports the authorities’ request for completion of the sixth (last) review of the ECF arrangement, as well as the request for a waiver for nonobservance of the continuous performance criteria on nonintroduction of multiple currency practices.
