Nairobi, Kenya – The Minister of Finance of Somalia, Elmi Mohamud Nur, announced today that the rigorous review mission conducted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has concluded. The results show clear progress towards achieving debt relief for Somalia by the end of this year.

“At this critical developmental juncture, we will continue to move forward with our economic and financial reforms,” stated Minister Nur. This follows a 4-day meeting in Nairobi focused on domestic revenue development, public finance management, and economic infrastructure reform. The meeting was attended by Somali government agencies and representatives from the IMF and World Bank.

Debt relief is a crucial step for Somalia as it seeks to rebuild its economy and infrastructure after decades of conflict. The IMF review mission is part of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative, which aims to provide debt relief to eligible countries.

The 4-day meeting in Nairobi discussed various measures to improve Somalia’s domestic revenue development and public finance management. Economic infrastructure reform was also on the agenda, as the country seeks to rebuild its roads, ports, and other vital infrastructure.

The Somali government has expressed its commitment to continuing its economic and financial reforms in order to achieve debt relief and improve the lives of its citizens. With the support of international partners such as the IMF and World Bank, Somalia is making steady progress towards a brighter future.
