Niger's growth slowed in 2015 owing to lower agricultural and natural resource sectors activity. Over the medium term, real economic growth is expected to pick up as major projects in oil and mineral extraction come to fruition. The IMF staff supports the authorities' request for waivers for the unmet PC on domestic financing and domestic arrears repayments at end-December 2014, and that of domestic financing at end-June 2015 UR - http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF002/22996-9781513555584/22996-9781513555584/22996-9781513555584.xml UR - http://www.imfbookstore.org/IMFORG/9781513555584 ER -
