IMF staff expect inflation in North Macedonia to remain in line with euro area inflation in the medium term, the IMF said in its statement.
Fiscal policy under the PLL arrangement will support economic growth, protect those most affected by the cost-of-living crisis, and safeguard public finance, the IMF added.
The PLL provides financing to meet actual or potential balance of payments needs of countries with sound policies and that may have some remaining vulnerabilities. It is intended to serve as a backstop or help resolve crises under wide-ranging situations, according to the IMF.
