The most prominent feature of the Nicaraguan economy’s performance in 1989 was the control of hyperinflation. The annual variation in the level of prices fell from close to 34 000% to 1 700%. Some of the more dramatic elements of the previous year’s crisis were tempered, although a good deal of instability persisted. The central government’s deficit fell from26% of GDP to 5% as aresult of the sharp contraction of public expenditure. The rigorous fiscal policy made it possible to slow down the money supply, thereby becoming the main instrument against inflation.
