What is the primary impact of the 2019 tax reform on Rufisque's budget and development plans?

The 2019 reform drastically reduced Rufisque's revenue from 1.4 billion CFA in 2020 to a mere 17 million CFA in 2024, severely impacting its development projects. This resulted from a change in how local economic contribution (CEL/VA) is collected, leaving the city financially strained and jeopardizing planned infrastructure improvements.", A2="The reform fragmented the collection of business taxes, leaving Rufisque with significantly less revenue compared to other Senegalese municipalities. This revenue reduction forces the city to cut spending on crucial projects like road construction (700 million CFA) and social investment, highlighting the systemic impact of the 2019 tax law changes.", A3="To counter the drastic budget cuts, Rufisque is pursuing alternative funding sources. A partnership with SOCOCIM will provide 70% of the funding for a 5-billion CFA investment in sanitation, road infrastructure, and a training center. This collaboration demonstrates the city's proactive approach to securing future funding and maintaining essential services despite the financial challenges.
