What happened
Niger and the International Monetary Fund reached staff-level agreement on the tenth and final review of the economic program supported by the Extended Credit Facility (ECF). This agreement establishes a new 38-month ECF-supported program. Upon approval by the IMF Executive Board, the arrangement would make approximately $36 million immediately available to Niger.
Why it matters
The support aims to consolidate macroeconomic stability and assist in implementing Niger's development strategy. Economic projections indicate strong growth, with 7% expected in 2026 and 6.7% in 2027, driven primarily by agriculture and extractive industries.
