 THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF)
Sierra Leone became a member of the IMF on 10th September 1962 and has had 19 arrangements with the fund since then. The Fund’s support to Sierra Leone over the years have been mainly in the form of balance of payment support. However, owing to the poly-crises experienced in recent years, the fund provided urgent support through the Rapid Credit Facility II (RCF2) in addition to the existing Extended Credit Facility arrangement that was in place since November 2018. The total disbursement under various arrangements in 2021 amounted to $377.20 million to help the country deal with the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures implemented to contain it.
Following the eighth and final review under the Extended Credit Facility arrangement for Sierra Leone in 2023, the IMF immediately disbursed SDR 15.555 million (or about US$20.7 million).
