The government will soon unveil the broad outlines and orientations of the finance bill for the 2024 financial year, which he will submit to the ARP for a vote. Without a doubt, the executive grants this project the appropriate strategic dimension to stimulate the country’s economy, taking into account the fluctuations that the world is facing. An essential part of the project, preserving the purchasing power of citizens is an imperative in the face of the rise in prices observed on international markets, a consequence of growing instability in the world.

The development of the 2024 PLF takes place in an international context marked by the succession of crises and the rise in geopolitical tensions which have impacted economic growth and purchasing power throughout the world, following the increase in inflationary pressures which are have worsened over the last three years, particularly in 2022 with a rate of 8.2% globally, 8.4% in the Euro zone and 8% in the United States.

The Executive has been working since last March on the implementation of the next draft budget which should guide government action in an economic context weakened by economic crises. If the previous year was marked by major budgetary constraints, it would be the same for the next financial year, knowing that the world is experiencing major transformations having undermined public finances and having induced galloping, lasting and unsustainable inflation.

Reduce inflation, promote investment and preserve the purchasing power of citizens while continuing the work of structural reforms: an equation which complicates the task of the Executive in the face of an international situation, to say the least, unpredictable.

The final version of the project was transferred by the ARP to the Finance and Budget Committee, following examining it. Note that this project was adopted on October 12, 2023 by the Council of Ministers.
