On September 29, 2026, under the presidency of Ismaïl Omar Guelleh, the 11th Council of Ministers meeting took place in Djibouti. The meeting examined and approved several key financial reports for the year 2025. These included the financial accounts of the National Agency for Information Systems of the State (A.N.S.I.E), the Multisectoral Regulatory Authority of Djibouti (A.R.M.D), the Djibouti Development Fund (F.D.E.D), the Military Retirement Fund (CMR), and the Radio Television of Djibouti (R.T.D).
The A.N.S.I.E's financial accounts for 2025 reported products worth 505.5 million FDJ, marking a 10.6% increase from 2024. This growth was primarily due to a rise in exceptional products, which reached 159.1 million FDJ. The agency's charges stood at 515.8 million FDJ, with a significant portion allocated to personnel costs, amounting to 275.6 million FDJ. The agency also invested 16.6 million FDJ in acquiring computer and office equipment.
The A.R.M.D's financial accounts for 2025 showed products amounting to 240.7 million FDJ, representing a substantial increase of 69.8 million FDJ from the previous year. The revenue was primarily composed of frequency income (44 million FDJ), license revenues (96.1 million FDJ), and state subsidies (93.9 million FDJ). The authority's charges for 2025 were 253.6 million FDJ, with personnel costs accounting for 189.5 million FDJ. The A.R.M.D invested 32.2 million FDJ in acquiring essential equipment.
The F.D.E.D reported a surplus of 127.5 million FDJ for 2025, with products totaling 463.3 million FDJ. The fund's income included interest on credit operations (16.1 million FDJ), exploitation subsidies (168.7 million FDJ), and interest on overdue payments (66.6 million FDJ). The fund's equity, including results, stood at 698.1 million FDJ, reflecting a 15.9% increase from the previous year.
The CMR's financial accounts for 2025 reported products of 3 billion FDJ, slightly down from 3.11 billion FDJ in 2024. The decrease was attributed to a reduction in state subsidies. The fund's charges for 2025 were 3.11 billion FDJ, primarily consisting of retirement pensions and personnel costs. The CMR also conducted an exhaustive physical inventory of its assets, leading to updates and regularization of its immobilized heritage.
The R.T.D's financial accounts for 2025 showed products worth 1.651 billion FDJ and charges of 1.581 billion FDJ, resulting in a surplus of 70.4 million FDJ. The radio and television services' income primarily came from state subsidies (1.259 billion FDJ) and advertising revenue (320.3 million FDJ). Despite a decrease in products compared to 2024, the R.T.D managed to reduce its charges.
The approved financial reports reflect the ongoing efforts of Djibouti's government to monitor and manage the country's financial landscape. President Ismaïl Omar Guelleh's leadership in these meetings underscores the importance of transparent financial governance. The reports will be crucial in informing future policy decisions and ensuring the stability of Djibouti's economy.
