Summary:
Samoa has demonstrated resilience in the face of multiple external shocks. Growth remains robust, but is expected to temporarily moderate before rebounding. Inflation has picked up but remains below the authorities’ target of 3 percent. The authorities have made efforts towards fiscal consolidation in recent years, but the fiscal position loosened in 2016/17 and Samoa remains at high risk of debt distress. Samoa remains vulnerable to natural disasters and to the partial withdrawal of correspondent banking relationships (CBRs). The authorities are implementing mitigation measures to address these risks.
