Rectified budget for fiscal year 2025-2026, decreed by the Council of Ministers because the legislature is not functioning, and published in Le Moniteur Special No. 29 on June 5, 2026. The preamble cites the security crisis, social disruptions that cut expected tax revenue, urgent security and social protection spending, and lower growth forecasts. Domestic revenue is set at 243.14 billion gourdes, grants at 70.12 billion and financing at 47.06 billion, for an envelope of 360.311 billion, up from 345.51 billion. Total spending rises 4.6% to 343.71 billion, with capital spending up 13.1% to 130.0 billion. The deficit after grants widens 48% to 30.46 billion gourdes, covered partly by a new 16.45 billion BRH loan. The decree also adds passport and residence permit fees, raises excises on alcohol, energy drinks and tomato products, changes customs duties, suspends duties on solar equipment and salted fish, and fines non-compliant LPG sellers.
