Most quantitative and structural benchmarks under the SMP for April-December 2006 were not met; nevertheless, the SMP helped prevent major financial instability during the protracted electoral period. Cognizant of the need to reestablish macroeconomic stability, the government agreed on a policy framework for 2007 to be monitored by the IMF staff. Satisfactory performance under the SMP would open the way for discussions on a new arrangement under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility.
