Given
that the current public dept situation of The Government of the Republic of The
Gambia is at high risk and unsustainable level which accounted for 115% of the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and undoubtedly contributed to the present
macroeconomic instability of the country. In recent years, large proportion of
this public dept emanated from the State Own Enterprises (SOEs) liabilities
towards external and domestic creditors.
In
light of the above, the Government of The Republic of The Gambia through the
Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs is adopting economic policy management
measures to help attain public dept sustainability and overall macroeconomic
stability.
Therefore,
the State Own Enterprises (SOEs) and general public at large are hereby
informed of the suspension of issuing of Government Guarantees to State Own
Enterprises (SOEs) for both domestic and external borrowings.
