This paper assesses Papua New Guinea’s 2003 Article IV Consultation and a Request for an Extension of Repurchase Expectations. Since the mid-1990s, Papua New Guinea’s growth performance has been weak and poverty has increased owing to an unfavorable external environment, loose macroeconomic policies, and deep-seated structural impediments to growth. The IMF staff supports the authorities’ request to extend their repurchase expectations to the IMF in light of the weakness in Papua New Guinea’s balance-of-payments position and the deterioration in key external indicators mainly because of lower mineral exports over the medium term.

This 2002 Annual Report describes world economic and financial developments in FY2002. During FY2002, the IMF faced important new challenges in an unusually unsettled world environment. After a period of strong expansion, the global economy experienced a widespread slowdown during the 2001 calendar year. By early 2002, however, thanks in large part to actions taken by key central banks to lower interest rates, there were encouraging signs that growth was recovering, although serious concerns remained in a number of countries.
