Short-term fiscal policy of the CAR attempts to stabilize demand through government spending while preserving medium-term fiscal discipline. The revised program safeguards budgeted spending and incorporates new externally financed peace-process spending. Structural reforms are focused on areas critical to economic stability and the recovery of growth. IMF staff supports completion of the fourth review, augmentation of PRGF access, and program extension.
