The COVID-19 pandemic experience provided the government an opportunity to develop its approach to monitoring and reporting. During the loan period; ADB supported the executing agency in the quarterly monitoring of expenditures under the government’s emergency loans. This was appreciated by the government and because it provided the only English-language summary of government expenditure under the two emergency decrees, the quarterly monitoring was continued at government’s request even after loan closure. While these reports were submitted in a timely manner, the establishment of an integrated government-wide data performance management and monitoring system would further benefit the Public Debt Management Office, the program executing agency. Having these systems in place would help prepare for a future crisis.
