Program implementation through the end of August has been satisfactory. All quantitative and indicative targets were met, with the exception of the criterion on nonaccumulation of external payments for which the authorities are taking corrective measures. Improvement in tax revenue, albeit in line with the program target, remains fragile. The IMF staff supports completion of the first review under the ECF arrangement and the authorities’ request for a waiver for the nonobservance of a PC. The IMF staff also recommends that the financing assurances review be completed.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2017/014Banks and BankingimfExports and ImportsimfMoney and Monetary PolicyimfPublic FinanceimfInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsimfTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralimfInternational economicsimfPublic finance & taxationimfBankingimfMonetary economicsimfArrearsimfRevenue administrationimfCommercial banksimfPublic debtimfCreditimfExternal debtimfFinancial institutionsimfMoneyimfDebts, ExternalimfRevenueimfBanks and bankingimfDebts, PublicimfAfricaEconomic conditionsCentral African RepublicimfBanks and BankingExports and ImportsMoney and Monetary PolicyPublic FinanceInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralInternational economicsPublic finance & taxationBankingMonetary economicsArrearsRevenue administrationCommercial banksPublic debtCreditExternal debtFinancial institutionsMoneyDebts, ExternalRevenueBanks and bankingDebts, Public330.96DcWaIMFBOOK9910162924403321Central African Republic2662962UNINA
