What they reported
GDP grew 5.1% against a 4.6% target, over 76,000 jobs were created, and domestic revenue reached a historic 847.7 million USD.
Inflation dropped from 12.8% to 4.0%, and electricity access rose from 33% to 37%.
Priorities and asks
Domestic resource mobilization over aid dependency, concessional financing for infrastructure, and human capital.
What stands out
It is unusually candid about shortfalls, and a domestic debt audit rejected over 704 million USD in unsupported claims.
