 afrol News - Djibouti economy "remains fragile"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Djibouti's Minister of Economy, Finance and Planning, Yacin Elmi Bouh, gives a bleak description of the economic and social situation in the country in a recent 'letter of intent' to the IMF.
After three years of implementing the IMF's poverty reduction programme, the government of Djibouti had been empowered to "stabilise tax revenues, rationalise budgetary outlays and increase social spending." Consequently, the government believed it "essential to continue its partnership with the IMF" under a renewed programme, which ended prematurely in 2002.
However, the IMF's structural reform programmes for Djibouti intended to remove obstacles to growth had not been completed, "and as a result, economic growth has not been strong enough to foster job creation and reduce poverty," Minister Bouh admitted.
