In a well-documented and illustrated directory, the Ministry of Economy and Participations, Mays Mouissi, has compiled a directory of fifty-one (51) achievements in six (6) months, from September 2023 to March 2024, since the arrival in power of Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema and the CTRI.
51 achievements with a strong social focus, centered around the fight against high cost of living, including the decrease in prices of staple food products, construction materials, and quarry products.
The report also includes the continuation of free provision of electricity and water to low-income subscribers, the price of domestic flight tickets, and train tickets.
The report also mentions new measures that notably include a 10 Francs per liter drop in fuel prices and maintaining the price of kerosene at 450 Francs, totaling 51.03 billion CFA francs from September 2023 to January 2024.
The continuation of free provision of wheat flour and public transportation, the removal of enrollment fees in public institutions (pre-primary, primary, and secondary), capping school uniforms’ prices at 13,000 Francs are also listed in the catalog of social actions carried out under the impetus of the Ministry of Economy and Participations during the six-month transition period.
Mays Mouissi’s good points on the social front also include a 10-year reduction in the minimum age for importing used vehicles, a 1000 Francs decrease in the price of butane gas bottles representing a 2.5 billion CFA francs monthly subsidy.
All these social actions, included in the overall catalog of the 51 achievements, were implemented through economic and financial diplomacy actions in the regional financial market, under the impetus of the Ministry of Economy and Participations.
They mobilized a total envelope of 485.1 billion CFA francs dedicated to financing priority projects of the transition.
