In Search of Inclusive Growth-Key Lessons from the Literature; CONTENTS; RELATIONS WITH THE FUND; JOINT WORLD BANK-IMF WORK PROGRAM, 2013-14; STATISTICAL ISSUESThis 2013 Article IV Consultation highlights that Sierra Leone has made significant progress in macroeconomic stabilization over the last five years. Real GDP growth averaged some 7 percent, driven by output expansion in agriculture, mining, and services; as well as the scaling-up of infrastructure investment. Nonetheless, important impediments to broad-based growth remain, including large infrastructure gaps, insufficient energy supply, and limited access to safe water and sanitation. Medium-term prospects are positive. Growth is projected to remain robust, mainly driven by iron ore production and continued high public investment; while inflation is expected to decline further as monetary and fiscal policies remain prudent.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2013/330Economic developmentSierra LeoneBudgetingimfExports and ImportsimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfStatisticsimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfFiscal PolicyimfNational BudgetimfBudget SystemsimfPublic finance & taxationimfInternational economicsimfBudgeting & financial managementimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfPublic financial management (PFM)imfPublic debtimfFiscal policyimfExpenditureimfDebt sustainability analysisimfBudget planning and preparationimfFinance, PublicimfDebts, ExternalimfDebts, PublicimfExpenditures, PublicimfSierra LeoneEconomic conditionsSierra LeoneimfEconomic developmentBudgetingExports and ImportsMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceStatisticsNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtFiscal PolicyNational BudgetBudget SystemsPublic finance & taxationInternational economicsBudgeting & financial managementEconometrics & economic statisticsPublic financial management (PFM)Public debtFiscal policyExpenditureDebt sustainability analysisBudget planning and preparationFinance, PublicDebts, ExternalDebts, PublicExpenditures, Public332.152International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910828521303321SIERRA Leone686991UNINA
