Summary:The Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe shows prudence in maintaining its fiscal stance assisted by the IMF extended credit facility (ECF). The authorities aim to concentrate on maintaining macroeconomic stability even though debt distress owing to a narrow export base and other issues loom as threats.

Revenue from oil production is also expected to help achieve the target by 2015.
