25 Three priority areas to ensure a stronger and durable recovery: Reinforce emphasis on macroeconomic stability Structural reforms to support healthier macro balances Stronger emphasis on social protection 25
26 More emphasis on adjustment needed in many cases Hardest-hit resource-intensive countries: Strong fiscal consolidation required, with strong focus on revenue mobilization Where available, greater exchange rate flexibility/elimination of exchange restrictions important Other countries: Where growth is still strong, emerging vulnerabilities need to be addressed from position of strength Infrastructure investment needs to be addressed through higher revenue mobilization to safeguard debt sustainability 26
27 Reforms needed to support macro objectives Domestic revenue mobilization Greater emphasis on safeguarding financial stability Fostering economic diversification State-owned enterprise reforms to limit contingent liabilities 27
28 Stronger emphasis on social protection necessary Low growth and widening macroeconomic imbalances risk aggravating social dislocation and increasing poverty Social protection programs often fragmented, not welltargeted, and cover a small share of the population Need to better target these and also use savings from regressive expenditures such as fuel subsidies to help vulnerable groups 28
