The IMF Announces the Start of the First Review of the Stand-By Arrangement

Today the IMF announced that an IMF mission will start the first review of the Stand-By Arrangement on December 21-23.

The  Ministry of Finance welcomes the decision on the IMF Mission to start the first review of the SBA Program and expresses its confidence in continuing constructive  cooperation with the Fund in support of addressing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and implmenting economic reforms.
