Summary: | This Poverty and Social Impact Analysis
(PSIA) is part of a broader dialogue on energy tax reform
and strengthening social safety nets in Djibouti. As part of
a possible reform of energy taxes in Djibouti, the
government of Djibouti has sought the support of the World
Bank to better understand how such a policy reform can be
pro-poor. The study was designed and implemented by a
multisectoral committee composed of various stakeholder
institutions, including the Ministry of Economy and Finance,
the Ministry of Budget, the Secretary of State responsible
for National Solidarity (SESN), the Department of Statistics
and Demographic Studies (DISED), the Ministry of Energy, and
the Ministry of Transport, with whom the teams of the Bank
and the IMF collaborated throughout the process of
preparation of the study. Technical meetings were held on
January 30, February 2, May 25, May 28, and May 29, 2014, in
Djibouti to discuss the various scenarios of reform, obtain
additional information, and present preliminary quantitative
results. Consultation meetings were held on July 2 and
November 15, 2014, to present the findings and discuss
possible reform options. This executive summary condenses
the main findings of the study. The study is available as a
separate report with more analyses and background
information. The study is based on data from a
representative household survey which includes detailed
information on household expenditures and receipt of certain
cash and in-kind benefits (EDAM 3-2012). The tables in this
executive summary show 2014 prices, with inflation rates of
2.5 and 2.9 for 2013 and 2014, respectively. |
