IMF to disburse 6.5 mln USD to Guinea-Bissau
"The Executive Board of the IMF has approved the eighth review of the financial adjustment program, enabling the immediate disbursement of 6.5 million U.S. dollars to Guinea-Bissau," the ministry said via its official Facebook page.
This new disbursement brings the total amount released under the ECF for Guinea-Bissau to about 48.1 million dollars.
However, the IMF said that Guinea-Bissau's performance under the program has been mixed. According to the Ministry of Finance, the country met seven out of nine quantitative performance criteria and three out of four structural benchmarks as of the end of December 2024.
Guinea-Bissau resumed its financial cooperation with the IMF in 2022, aiming to ensure the sustainability of its public debt, support economic recovery and create fiscal space to promote sustainable and inclusive growth.

Indonesia eases regulation on franchising businesses
JAKARTA: Indonesia has eased registration requirements for companies seeking to franchise their businesses, aiming to streamline the process, Xinhua reported. The modified rules are stipulated in the 2025 Ministerial Regulation No. 25 on Procedures for Issuing Franchise Registration Certificates by Local Administrations. At a press conference here on Monday (June 30), the country's Trade Minister Budi Santoso (pic) said those franchising businesses that have registered for a permit and obtained the registration certificates will be eligible to operate in any region, despite no confirmations from local administrations within five working days. Santoso explained that the modified rules were prompted after the ministry found out that the issuance of registration certificates by each regional government often took a long time, potentially hindering business operations across the country. Prior to the easing, local administrations had authority in issuing the certificates. - Bernama-Xinhua
