Activity was impacted by an outbreak of the Ebola virus since late 2013, but lagging structural reforms, energy shortages, and political uncertainty may also be at play. Economic growth is estimated to have been 2.3 percent in 2013, and is projected at 3.5 percent in 2014, supported by higher public investment and assuming a gradual start-up of new mining sector investment. Inflation fell to below 10 percent year-on-year in May 2014, international reserves covered 3.6 months of imports by end-2013, and the exchange rate has remainedIMF country report ;14/244.Papua New GuineaEconomic conditionsPapua New GuineaSocial conditionsElectronic books.330.9953MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458759903321Guinea1942254UNINA
