Abstract: | Fund-supported adjustment programmes have often been flawed by a lack of distributional analysis and by poor sequencing of reforms, and as a result they have caused avoidable hardship. The attempt to taper out aid as a part of the reform programme leads to avoidable reductions in post-stabilization growth. In post-stabilization environments, the role of the Fund is to provide credible signals to private investors. |
