The program for 2002/03-2004/05, which could be supported by a new PRGF arrangement, aims to increase real GDP growth to about 6 1/2 percent a year on average, while holding annual inflation at about 3 1/2 percent. Monetary and exchange rate policies will focus on maintaining stability in light of sizable sterilization operations. The authorities will rely on market-based monetary instruments and will adhere to a flexible exchange rate policy.
