The promulgation of the finance law for the 2021 fiscal year comes in a context marked, at the national level, by the continued implementation of the Covid19 pandemic response plan with its economic and social repercussions, the operationalization of the 2020-2030 National Development Strategy (SND30), the maintenance of a security watch over the entire national territory, the continued implementation of the reconstruction plan for regions affected by security crises, the strengthening of social cohesion and the speeding up of the decentralization process through the operationalisation of the Regions and the organisation of the CHAN 2021 and AFCON 2022 competitions. All these issues and challenges require a large volume of resources whose mobilization has been slowed down by the Covid-19 pandemic.
At the sub-regional level, during the third extraordinary session of the CEMAC Economic and Financial Reform Programme Committee that held in Brazzaville on 28 March 2020, the Ministers in charge of Economy, Finance and Integration of the CEMAC zone recommended an increase in the budget appropriations allocated for health expenditures, with a view to strengthening measures aimed at fighting against the Covid-19 pandemic, while guaranteeing the regular functioning of the State.
To this effect, the budget of the State on the account of the 2021 fiscal year, is balanced in income and expenditure at a total sum of 4 865.2 billion FCFA. This budget will be implemented in a context marked by uncertainties that require more caution and vigilance on the part of the Government, in the formulation of strategic and budgetary choices for the 2021 fiscal year, as well as for the years to come.
