Fifth SADC Macroeconomic Peer Review Mechanism Panel Meeting

The Peer Review Panel (The Panel) comprising the SADC Ministers of Finance and Investment and the SADC Central Bank Governors, met on 19 July 2019 at the Safari Conference Centre in Windhoek, Namibia.

The purpose of the peer review process is to review progress made by individual Member States towards the achievement of agreed SADC Macroeconomic Convergence targets as well as to identify risks to economic outlook and devise policy actions to mitigate them.

The Panel considered peer review reports of Lesotho, Madagascar and Malawi, the fifth group of State Parties to the Protocol on Finance and Investment, to be reviewed since the SADC Macroeconomic Peer Review Mechanism was launched in May 2013 in Maputo, Mozambique.
