Abstract
During February 2-14, 2008 a World Bank
team comprised of Per-Olof Jonsson and Frederico Gil Sander
traveled to Sao Tome e Príncipe to undertake an assessment
of the government's debt management capacity and
institutions using the Debt Management Performance
Assessment Tool (DeMPA). The DeMPA is a methodology for
assessing government debt management (DeM) performance
through a comprehensive set of indicators spanning the full
range of DeM functions. The assessment reveals that despite
notable progress since the inception of the debt office in
2004, overall Sao Tome Príncipe meets the minimum
requirements set out by the DeMPA only in the fields of
evaluation of debt management operations and coordination
with monetary policy. The Government does not meet the
minimum requirements in the other indicators. The gap
between existing practices and the minimum requirements is
narrow in some areas. Among the areas for improvement where
greater effort is required to reach good practices, the
mission identified the legal framework and the managerial
structures as key priorities in a reform program.
