The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved the disbursement of $10 million to Somalia to boost the country's economic reforms.
The IMF said in a statement that the latest funding "brings Somalia's total disbursement under the current program, the Extended Credit Facility, originally approved in December 2023 to $60 million.
The IMF added that its Executive Board "has completed the 2024 Article IV consultation and the second review under the Extended Credit Facility for Somalia."
