The Junior Minister of Finance, Dhaneshwar Damry, indicated that this third day of pre-budget consultations was marked by a meeting with the private sector, described as very cordial and bringing positive results.
He stressed that the government and the private sector are aligned on the need to increase investments in order to create jobs and drive inclusive development.
At the same time, both parties recognize that the State's fiscal room for maneuver remains very limited, due in particular to the difficult global economic context and the legacy of high public debt, estimated at 90% under the old regime, compared to 60% previously.
Therefore, the Junior Minister indicated that the proposals aim to facilitate investments through public-private partnerships in four key sectors of connectivity, considered as catalysts of the economy: the airport, the port, digital connectivity and financial connectivity.
According to him, these axes constitute essential levers to revive the economy.
Here is his statement in full.
