The Multiannual Budgetary and Economic Programme (DPBEP) 2025-2027 was adopted by the Council of Ministers on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. It defines the budgetary and economic guidelines for the next three years.
The provisional budget, up 11.5 percent on the previous year and targets annual growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 7.4 percent on average.
The draft State budget for 2025 provides for an increase of 11.5 percent over the 2024 budget to CFAF 15,301.9 billion. This level should continue to rise, reaching 17,070 billion FCFA in 2026 and 17,480.7 billion FCFA in 2027.
According to the government spokesman, Amadou Coulibaly, these forecasts, in terms of economic and budgetary data, are provisional and could change as new information is taken into account before the draft 2025 budget is examined.
The 2025-2027 budget forecast is based on real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 7.4 percent on average per year over the specified period, taking into account changes in the international and national economic context.
Over the target period, the government’s economic and financial policy should be devoted to implementing development strategies, through the consolidation of socio-political stability and the macroeconomic framework, and the structural transformation of the economy.
To achieve these economic and financial objectives, the State’s budgetary policy for the period 2025-2027 will be geared towards consolidating the efficiency of domestic revenue collection.
On the expenditure side, the plan is to continue to control operating costs and maintain the sustainability of public debt, with a view to providing greater room for manoeuvre for the ongoing increase in investment and spending to combat poverty.
Drawn up in accordance with the Finance Acts, the DPBEP defines the budgetary and economic guidelines for the period 2025-2027, setting out the objectives for budgetary and financial balance and establishing the basic framework for the Budgetary Orientation Debate.
