IMF staff concludes virtual staff visit to Vanuatu

The team led by Koki Harada met during March 1–12, 2021.

At the end of the visit, Mr. Harada said, “Vanuatu has successfully contained COVID-19 through the authorities’ timely and decisive actions. However, the prolonged closure of the border has severely hit the economy—particularly tourism. In 2020, Vanuatu was also hit by Tropical Cyclone Harold and volcanic eruptions in Tanna Island.
