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.Djibouti fait face à de multiples défis du développement et la croissance économique récente ne s’est pas traduite par l’amélioration du bien-être de la population. Ce pays dépend largement des importations pour satisfaire ses besoins alimentaires et une grande partie de la population est confrontée à l'insécurité alimentaire. Dans ce contexte, les filets de protection sociale revêtent une importance cruciale pour atténuer les effets dévastateurs de la pauvreté, et le Gouvernement de Djibouti a accompli des progrès considérable dans l’établissement de ces filets. En réponse à la crise alimentaire et afin de protéger la population contre les chocs des prix des aliments de base et de certains produits pétroliers, des exonérations fiscales universelles ont été introduites; mais étant donné qu’elles sont non ciblées, ces exonérations profitent essentiellement aux classes aux revenus moyens et supérieurs. Cette Analyse de la pauvreté et de l’impact social s’inscrit dans un dialogue plus large sur la réforme de la taxation des produits énergétiques et le renforcement des filets de protection sociale à Djibouti. Dans le cadre d’une possible réforme des taxes sur l’énergie à Djibouti, le Gouvernement de Djibouti a sollicité l’appui de la Banque mondiale afin de mieux comprendre comment une telle réforme de politique peut être favorable aux pauvres. Dans le cadre de cette assistance technique, une équipe intersectorielle de la Banque, en étroite collaboration avec le FMI, a appuyé le Gouvernement de Djibouti pour l’aider à comprendre les caractéristiques actuelles des exonérations fiscales à Djibouti , l’impact des exonérations fiscales actuelles sur le bien-être des ménages, le contexte d’une telle réforme, le rôle actuel des Filets de protection sociale à Djibouti et l'impact de la Réforme des exonérations fiscales et des Filets sociaux sur la pauvreté.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAPPARENT RELATIONSHIPASSISTANCE PROGRAMSBENEFICIARYBENEFITS INCIDENCEBOURSEBUSBUS FLEETBUS OPERATORSBUSESCALORIE INTAKECARCAR OWNERSHIPCARSCASH TRANSFERSCASH-TRANSFERCHRONIC MALNUTRITIONCONFLICTCOST OF TRANSPORTDEMOGRAPHIC COMPOSITIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIESELDISABLEDDISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITSDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC SECURITYDROUGHTDURABLEDURABLE GOODSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIES OF SCALEEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEFFICIENT VEHICLEEMERGENCY FOODEXCISE DUTIESEXCISE DUTYEXCISE TAXEXCLUSIONEXPORTEREXPORTERSEXTREME POVERTYFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFOOD INSECURITYFOOD ITEMSFOOD NEEDSFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICESFOOD PRODUCTSFOOD PROGRAMFOOD RATIONFOOD RATIONSFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUBSIDIESFOOD SUBSIDYFOREIGN INVESTMENTFREIGHTFUELFUEL OILFUEL PRICEFUEL PRICESFUEL SUBSIDIESFUELSGASOLINEGASOLINE PRICEGASOLINE PRICESGENDERGENDER GAPGOVERNMENT BUDGETGOVERNMENT REVENUEGOVERNMENT REVENUESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH EXPENDITUREHOLDINGHOMELESSHOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURESHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTIMPACT ON POVERTYIMPLICIT SUBSIDIESIMPLICIT SUBSIDYIMPORT COSTINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME ON FOODINCOME QUINTILEINDIRECT BENEFICIARIESINEQUALITYINFLATIONINFLATION RATESINFLATIONARY PRESSUREINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL MARKETSLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSLOCAL CURRENCYMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMALNUTRITIONMARITIME TRANSPORTMEANS TESTMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMONETARY FUNDNATIONAL POVERTYNATURAL DISASTERSOIL PRICESOLD AGEOPERATING COSTPARTICIPATION RATEPENSIONPENSIONSPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPETROLEUM PRODUCTSPOORPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR INDIVIDUALSPOOR PEOPLEPOPULATION GROWTHPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY GAP INDEXPOVERTY IMPACTPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY RISKPRICE CHANGEPRICE ELASTICITYPRICE OF FUELPRICE SUBSIDYPRIVATE TRANSFERSPROGRAM ELIGIBILITYPROTECTION SYSTEMPUBLIC SAFETYPUBLIC SAFETY NETPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONRATION PROGRAMRECEIPTREFUGEESRELATIVE POVERTYREMITTANCESROADROUTESRURALRURAL AREASRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL POPULATIONSAFETYSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NETSSANITATIONSAVINGSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL BUSESSCHOOL TRANSPORTSCHOOL TRANSPORTATIONSHARE OF TRANSFERSSHOCKSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL INSURANCE PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROGRAMSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SERVICESSOURCE OF INCOMESPECIFIC TAXESSUBURBSSUPPLY CHAINSUPPORT SYSTEMTARGETED TRANSFERSTARGETINGTAXTAX EXEMPTTAX EXEMPTIONTAX EXEMPTION ON FUELTAX EXEMPTIONSTAX RATESTAX REVENUETAX SYSTEMTAX-EXEMPTTAXATIONTAXI OPERATORSTAXISTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRANSFER AMOUNTTRANSFER AMOUNTSTRANSFER PROGRAMTRANSFER PROGRAMSTRANSITTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT PRICETRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION FUELUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN AREASVARIABLE COSTSVEHICLESVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE MEMBERSVULNERABLE POPULATIONSWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/21790
