In a nutshell
- While macroeconomic policies helped the economy stabilize in the short term, development was not mainstreamed within such policies.
- Spending priorities need to change by increasing productive spending (on health and education) at the expense of current one.
- Exchange rate policy must become more sustainable to reduce the pressure on foreign reserves and boost trade and the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector.
