A sharp appreciation of the dalasi in 2007 has mitigated the impact of increases in world food and oil prices. The authorities' response to the continuing rise in these world prices has been measured; while eliminating sales tax on the rise, they have raised other taxes to compensate for the revenue loss. Petroleum product prices have been adjusted to eliminate an implicit subsidy and bring them in line with import costs.
