The authorities have committed to lowering net domestic borrowing (NDB) from 11.4 percent in 2016 to a fiscal anchor of 1 percent of GDP in 2017 and beyond, and refraining from monetary financing. External budget support of 7.2 percent of GDP will be complemented by a set of non-tax revenue and expenditure measures of 5 percent of GDP to achieve the NDB target. The IMF staff supports the authorities' request. The IMF staff also views the package of measures the authorities have committed to as representing a very significant adjustment effort.
