Book Description
São Tomé and Principe is a small island nation located off the coast of West Africa. The country is comprised of two main islands, São Tomé and Principe, along with several smaller islets. The nation has a population of approximately 200,000 people and the official language is Portuguese. São Tomé and Principe was colonized by the Portuguese in the late 15th century and gained independence in 1975. The country’s economy is predominantly based on agriculture, with cocoa being the primary export. São Tomé and Principe is known for its biodiversity and ecotourism, with about 30% of the total land area being designated as protected areas. The nation is also rich in cultural and historical landmarks, such as the historic city of São Tomé, which is home to many colonial-era buildings and sites. Despite being considered to be one of the poorest countries in the world, São Tomé and Principe is actively working towards economic development and has attracted significant foreign investment in recent years.

In the fiscal area, the primary budget balance of São Tomé and Príncipe has turned around from a deficit of 2.2 percent of GDP in 1997 to a surplus of 0.7 percent of GDP in 1998 (Dobra 1.9 billion). The primary surplus is estimated to have increased further to 1.3 percent of GDP in 1999. Monetary policy has remained tight in 1999, as the central bank has maintained the reserve requirement ratio at 22 percent and commercial banks have kept their savings and lending rates substantially above the central bank reference interest rate.

Book Description
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated long-standing socio-economic vulnerabilities, which were further compounded by persistent energy shortages, flood-related damages at end-2021, and a sharp increase in global fuel and food prices caused by the war in Ukraine. These have put pressure on domestic inflation, aggravated electricity shortages, and disrupted business activities, with negative implications for growth in 2022. Protracted negotiations with labor unions resulted in additional wage supplements for the lowest paid category of civil servants in June 2022. Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in September 2022.

Book Description
This 2013 Article IV Consultation highlights that after significant real economic growth volatility and high inflation through 2009, growth in Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe has become more stable and inflation has reached record low levels. Real economic growth slowed to 4 percent in 2012, reflecting a scaling back of project financing and foreign direct investment as many of São Tomé and Príncipe’s key partners were hard hit by the global economic slowdown. Growth is projected to remain unchanged at 4 percent in 2013 in light of lingering uncertainties stemming from the challenging external environment.

Book Description
This paper discusses São Tomé and Príncipe’s Third and Fourth Reviews Under the Extended Credit Facility Arrangement, Extension of the Arrangement, And Modification of Performance Criteria (PCs). Program implementation is broadly back on track. After missing the end-2016 fiscal targets by large margins, the government adopted corrective measures and met all five end-June 2017 PCs. The implementation of structural reforms under the program is progressing, albeit at a much slower pace than anticipated due mainly to capacity constraints and delays in the delivery of technical assistance. The IMF staff recommends the completion of the joint third and fourth reviews, approval of the extension to end-2018, and rephasing of the program.
