On November 3, 2026, President Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti presided over the 13th Council of Ministers meeting. The session involved the examination and approval of several key financial accounts for various institutions within the country. This meeting is part of the ongoing efforts to review and manage the nation's financial and administrative affairs.
The Council approved the financial accounts of the Palais du Peuple for the 2025 fiscal year. The accounts show products amounting to 400.2 million FDJ, with a notable increase from 367.2 million FDJ in 2024. The primary sources of income include a state subsidy of 311.5 million FDJ and service-related revenues of 46.6 million FDJ. However, charges for the year reached 461.5 million FDJ, reflecting a significant increase.
The financial accounts of the École Nationale d'Études Judiciaires (ENEJ) for 2025 were also approved. The ENEJ recorded products of 52.4 million FDJ, with a slight increase from the previous year. The institution's charges decreased to 49 million FDJ, resulting in an excess of 3.372 million FDJ. This improvement is attributed to reduced expenditures, particularly in purchases and external charges.
The Council reviewed and approved the financial accounts of the Office Djiboutien de Développement de l'Énergie Géothermique (ODDEG) for 2025. ODDEG's products stood at 291.4 million FDJ, marking a decrease from the previous year. The decline is primarily due to a reduction in national operational subsidies. Despite this, the institution's total assets remain substantial, valued at 4.065 billion FDJ.
The financial accounts of the Agence Nationale de l'Emploi, de la Formation et de l'Insertion Professionnelle (ANEFIP) for 2025 were also examined. ANEFIP's products increased by 4.72% to 565.2 million FDJ, driven by revenues from work permits and authorizations. Although charges rose slightly, the agency reported an operational surplus of 13.9 million FDJ, an improvement from the previous year.
Additionally, the Council approved the financial accounts of the Institut National de l'Administration Publique (INAP) for 2025. INAP achieved a surplus of 9.2 million FDJ, a significant turnaround from the deficit in 2024. The institution's activities focused on enhancing public administration capacities through various training programs for civil servants and public officials.
The financial accounts of the Agence Nationale pour la Promotion du Sport (ANPS) for 2025 were also approved. ANPS recorded products of 298.1 million FDJ, with a slight decrease from the previous year. The agency's charges stood at 315.9 million FDJ, reflecting a challenging financial environment for sports promotion activities in Djibouti.
