Rising international oil prices starting in mid-1999 helped maintain financial stability in the face of declining oil production. Government policies and IMF advice since the early 2000s have focused primarily on structural reforms to boost growth and also on strengthening the medium-term budgetary outlook, given the prospective decline in oil revenues.
