Country Report Benin 2nd Quarter

The Economist Intelligence Unit, April 2013, Pages: 22

With a strong legislative majority, the president, Boni Yayi, will slowly continue to implement his political and economic reform programme.

The fiscal deficit will gradually narrow from an estimated 3.6% of GDP in 2012 to 2.7% of GDP in 2014 as the government responds to calls from the IMF for continued expenditure restraint.

Monetary policy will continue to be determined by the regional central bank, BCEAO, which is expected to maintain the CFA franc:euro peg.
