Togo: Government has implemented almost all the reforms it projected to improve public finances in 2018

(Togo First) - Almost all 97 reforms projected in relation to the country’s public finances have been carried out or are underway. This was revealed on Monday during a session to review the reforms.

In 2018, we planned 97 reforms, out of which 54 have been effectively implemented, 34 are underway and 9 yet to be initiated,” said Dedji Affoh, Division Chief at the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and Economy.

This represents a completion rate of 90.7% which is a clear improvement compared to the previous year where it stood at 83%, according to the official.

Beside assessing progress made with reforms initiated in 2018, the review session aims at identifying Togo’s strengths and weaknesses relating to public finances and finding new reforms to implement in 2019-2021.

Next month, a similar session will be held alongside another to validate a unified matrix for the 2019-2021 reforms, work plans and budgets.
