Key Findings

The MEF's budget execution report for 2022-2023 does not comply with legal requirements for presenting general accounts.
Overall budget resource mobilization was low (48.02% execution rate), mainly due to the quasi-absence of external financing.
Domestic revenue mobilization showed appreciable performance, with customs duties at 95.65% and internal revenues at 76.11% execution.
The execution rate for investment programs and projects was very low (11.08%), particularly in the social sector, hindering economic reinforcement and support for vulnerable populations.
Public debt amortization represented over 69% of total capital expenditures, reducing the state's capacity to finance other necessary operations.

Full Description

This report from the Superior Court of Accounts and Administrative Disputes (CSCCA) provides an analysis of the budget execution for the fiscal year 2022-2023, covering the period up to June 30, 2023. It is based on the budget execution report submitted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and aims to assess the evolution of budgetary resources, monitor public expenditure, evaluate the MEF's report compliance, and offer recommendations. The national context during this period was particularly challenging, marked by severe insecurity, fuel shortages, a cholera resurgence, and a prolonged political crisis, all contributing to a deteriorating economic environment. Inflation reached 46.4% in May 2023, and the gourde depreciated significantly against the US dollar. The report finds that overall budget resource mobilization was low, with a realization rate of only 48.02% against a target of 267.5 billion gourdes, largely due to the absence of external financing. While domestic revenues showed an appreciable performance, particularly customs duties (95.65% execution) and internal revenues (76.11%), total expenditure execution was also low at 45.16%. A significant concern is the very low execution rate for investment programs and projects (11.08%), especially in the social sector, which is crucial for addressing the pressing needs of the vulnerable population. The CSCCA also notes the MEF's report's non-compliance with legal requirements regarding the presentation of general accounts.
