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. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2016/378 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aBudgeting$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aNational Budget$2imf 606 $aBudget Systems$2imf 606 $aTrade: General$2imf 606 $aInternational Lending and Debt Problems$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aBudgeting & financial management$2imf 606 $aEnergy industries & utilities$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aBudget planning and preparation$2imf 606 $aImports$2imf 606 $aExternal debt$2imf 606 $aPublic financial management (PFM)$2imf 606 $aInternational trade$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aBudget$2imf 606 $aDebts, External$2imf 607 $aSierra Leone$2imf 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 7$aBudgeting 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aNational Budget 615 7$aBudget Systems 615 7$aTrade: General 615 7$aInternational Lending and Debt Problems 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aBudgeting & financial management 615 7$aEnergy industries & utilities 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aBudget planning and preparation 615 7$aImports 615 7$aExternal debt 615 7$aPublic financial management (PFM) 615 7$aInternational trade 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aBudget 615 7$aDebts, External 676 $a338.9 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157525303321 996 $aSIERRA Leone$9686991 997 $aUNINA
