Summary

Seychelles's strong stabilization efforts has helped the economy to overcome debt crisis and global recession under the Stand-By Arrangement (SBA). But the authorities need to address monetary policy trade-offs, and financial sector challenges exist. Executive Directors welcomed Seychelles's structural reform agenda, which aims at enhancing public financial and central bank management, strengthening competition and risk management, and reducing the role of the state in the financial system. Directors appreciated Seychelles's strong performance compliance with performance criteria under the economic program, and extended further financing.
