They also took steps to liberalize prices and initiate other structural reforms. At the same time, a policy of raising wages to unaffordable levels during an election year undermined progress achieved in stabilization. Significant progress was achieved under a Staff-Monitored Program, covering April 1-September 30, 2001. Monetary/exchange rate policy was implemented successfully, and the benchmarks for structural reforms were largely met.
