Diversification Is At The Heart Of Our Development Strategy

Despite economic growth of 6.5, Djibouti is currently facing budgetary challenges, particularly related to public debt. What is the government doing to ensure sustainable fiscal management?

Our government is fully aware of the budgetary challenges associated with public debt and is committed to maintaining responsible budgetary management while continuing to make the investments that are essential for growth. To achieve this balance, we have adopted a comprehensive strategy based on strengthening public finances, optimising spending, international cooperation and economic diversification.

The modernisation of the tax administration and the adoption of digital tools have made it possible to better structure tax collection and broaden the tax base. This helps to strengthen the country's financial autonomy and reduce dependence on external financing, while consolidating long-term fiscal sustainability.

At the same time, we have initiated measures to rationalise public spending in order to ensure the efficient allocation of resources.

Stricter controls have been introduced to limit unnecessary expenditure, while maintaining the strategic commitments necessary for development.
