IMF approves $1 billion augmentation in Ecuador program
The approval will allow Ecuador to immediately access around $600 million, the IMF said.
The approved augmentation for Ecuador increases access under the program to $5 billion from $4 billion, the IMF said.
"Despite challenging circumstances, Ecuadorian authorities have successfully mobilized non-oil revenues, strengthened fiscal and external buffers, and cleared domestic arrears while protecting vulnerable groups," said IMF Deputy Managing Director Nigel Clarke.

Can Labour 'absolutely' overtake the SNP for Holyrood 2026?
'Absolutely, we are,' Ms Reeves proclaimed when asked if her party was in a position to unseat the SNP. 'We won in Scotland last year and we won well,' she said. But a lot has happened since that big win at the General Election over a year ago. It's been only a matter of weeks since her government's spectacular unravelling of plans for the benefits system and the Chancellor could now be left at risk of breaking her own fiscal rules amid trade wars, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned. So, what's her cause for confidence? Well, other than not wanting to appear weak, the Chancellor claims it is because of how UK Labour are delivering for Scotland.

The Chancellor told journalists that morning Rolls Royce joins other companies across the country like Babcok in Rosyth who are benefiting from the Labour government's investment in the defence sector. It's estimated the government will spend over 2.6% of GDP in the industry in 2027. 'Good jobs and prosperity' mixed in with the ability to say the SNP did not back this funding appears to be a winning strategy for Ms Reeves. But evidence of this being successful remains to be seen as Labour is consistently trailing behind the [[SNP]] in the most recent polls for Holyrood 2026. Following the Chancellor's visit, pollster Scott Edgar from Diffley Partnership told The Herald the path to victory for Labour in Scotland looks "steep" but they have been comforted by one recent win. The senior research manager said: "Labour continues to trail the SNP in national polling, and the path to forming a government at Holyrood remains a steep one. "If the election were held now then the strong likelihood is that the SNP would be the largest party, albeit a long way short of having a majority. However, the recent by-election result in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse will have offered Labour encouragement which they will hope can give them some much needed momentum. "We are still 9 months out from the election and if Labour can carry any momentum forward, there may yet be an opportunity to move the dial nationally." At the start of this month, an Ipsos poll suggested the SNP is currently leading on Scottish Parliament voting intentions, with 34% of voters saying they would vote for the party. Meanwhile, Labour have fallen out of favour with many Scottish voters while in government at Westminster, with 22% now saying they would vote for the party, 13 points lower than the party achieved last July. In contrast, Reform UK are very much on the up, with a 16% vote share putting them 9 points higher than the 7% they achieved at the General Election. UK Labour's leadership is also not going down well north of the border. Keir Starmer's approval rating among Scots is at an all-time low as he marks one year as Prime Minister, according to the polling. Only 22% of the Scottish public are satisfied with the way Starmer is doing his job, giving him a net-satisfaction rating of -42 in Scotland. And it is not just amongst the public where discontent lies but within the Prime Minister's own ranks. The recent internal party split over welfare reforms left Labour MPs critical of the leadership from 10 Downing Street.

IMF board approves Zambia programme review, unlocking about $184 million
July 25 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund said on Friday its executive board had completed a fifth review of Zambia's loan programme, unlocking another disbursement of about $184 million. The fund said the loan programme would seek to "entrench macroeconomic stability, restore debt and fiscal sustainability, enhance public governance, and foster inclusive growth" for Zambia. The copper-rich Southern African country is recovering from a severe regional drought, which curbed economic growth after years of protracted debt-restructuring negotiations. Zambia battled its way to a restructuring deal with its primary creditors last year. It has yet to agree terms with some smaller creditors including Afreximbank. Its finance ministry expects growth to pick up 5.8% this year and 6.4% in 2026. Analysts do not foresee U.S. President Donald Trump's 50% tariff on copper being a major drag on growth as exports to the U.S. are limited and volatility in the copper price is expected to be temporary.

IMF's board approves $625-million loan deal for Chad
July 25 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund's executive board approved Chad's $625-million lending programme for four years, including an immediate disbursement of $38.5 million, the IMF said in a statement on Friday. The program, finalized in May between Central African officials and IMF staff, aims to ensure Chad's fiscal sustainability, create room for development projects, expand targeted social spending to fight poverty, and enhance governance and the business environment to promote private sector growth, the IMF said. That will in turn help with implementing an ambitious national development blueprint that requires $30 billion in public and private investment in sectors such as roads, electricity, and the digital economy. The plan, due to be launched in Abu Dhabi in September, should lead to average annual economic growth of 8% and help keep the debt level at 32% of gross domestic product over the 2025-2030 period, the country's finance minister said in June. Chad, whose junta leader was sworn in after an election last year, has been under pressure from declining oil prices, development assistance cuts, and regional instability. It hosts hundreds of thousands of refugees from Sudan's civil war who live in dire shelter conditions due to funding shortages.
