Somalia’s Council of Ministers Approves 2025 Government Budget

Mogadishu, SONNA, – The Council of Ministers of the Federal Republic of Somalia has approved the government budget for the year 2025 on Monday evening. The emergency meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Hamsa Abdi Barre, saw the budget passed by a majority vote, setting the total at $1,342,476,311.

The 2025 budget marks a substantial increase from the previous year’s allocation of $1,079,315,783, reflecting a 24.4% rise, amounting to an additional $263,160,528. This increase shows the government’s commitment to enhancing internal revenue generation, which is critical for the planned improvements in security, social services, and infrastructure development.

The Ministry of Finance, which presented the budget, emphasized the diverse sources of income that will support this financial plan. The increased budget is expected to be funded through enhanced tax collection, improved efficiency in public sector revenue generation, and international aid and grants. The focus on internal revenue is particularly crucial as it aims to reduce dependency on external funding and foster a more self-sustaining economy.

A significant portion of the budget is earmarked for strengthening security measures, a critical area given the ongoing challenges posed by terrorist groups. The allocation for social services will address essential sectors such as healthcare, education, and social welfare, aiming to improve the quality of life for Somali citizens. Infrastructure development, another key area, will see investments in transportation, energy, and communication networks, which are vital for economic growth and stability.

In addition to the budget approval, the Council of Ministers also passed the draft law for the Somali Police Force, submitted by the Ministry of Internal Security. This law is expected to provide a robust legal framework for the operations and governance of the police force, enhancing its effectiveness and accountability.

The approval of the 2025 budget is a positive step towards achieving Somalia’s Vision 2030 goals, which include economic diversification, improved governance, and sustainable development. The increased budget allocation reflects the government’s proactive approach to addressing the nation’s pressing needs and laying the groundwork for long-term stability and prosperity.

However, the successful implementation of this budget will require stringent measures to ensure transparency and accountability in public spending. The government must also focus on building institutional capacities to manage and utilize the allocated funds effectively. International partners and stakeholders will play a crucial role in supporting these efforts through technical assistance and financial aid.

The 2025 budget approval by Somalia’s Council of Ministers is a landmark decision that sets the stage for significant advancements in the country’s socio-economic landscape. With a clear focus on security, social services, and infrastructure.
