<p align="justify"><font face="Verdana" size="2">D&eacute;ficit budg&eacute;taire : baisse d'un point en une ann&eacute;e&nbsp;<br/>&nbsp;<br/>Au niveau du d&eacute;ficit budg&eacute;taire pour l'exercice financier 2006/07, le regret &agrave; peine dissimul&eacute; du vice-Premier ministre et ministre des Finances, Rama Sithanen est que les Pensions Liabilities - avec le transfert de fonctionnaires &agrave; la Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) d'un montant de Rs 590 millions - n'ont pas permis d'atteindre l'objectif de 4 % du Produit int&eacute;rieur brut (PIB). Cet objectif aurait pu &eacute;galement &ecirc;tre atteint si tous les revenus pr&eacute;vus aux diff&eacute;rentes mesures annonc&eacute;es dans le pr&eacute;c&eacute;dent Budget avaient &eacute;t&eacute; collect&eacute;s. N&eacute;anmoins, il a tenu &agrave; souligner qu'en une ann&eacute;e, le d&eacute;ficit budg&eacute;taire est pass&eacute; de 5,3 % &agrave; 4,3 % du PIB, soit une baisse d'un point en une ann&eacute;e. </font></p>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Will the Budget deliver?]]></title>
			<link>http://www.mauritiustoday.com/news/articles/13095/1/Will-the-Budget-deliver/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ <p>The budget speech 2006-07 was delivered last Friday. As expected, it did not turn out to be a sheer exercise in arithmetic. It gave a number of clues on how the government intended to re-orient policy in the post-preference era. Much of it had to do with simplification and streamlining of administrative procedures for opening up the economy to investment, labour market reform, fiscal consolidation and reforming the social welfare program. The private sector had been asking for these and no doubt they walked away satisfied, even though they did not get one more thing they were looking for &#8211; more privatisation of public sector entities. </p>]]></description>

Sans doute bien conscient qu'il ne serait pas cr&eacute;dible s'il mettait en doute les comp&eacute;tences &eacute;conomiques de Rama Sithanen, M. Lutchmeenaraidoo choisit plut&ocirc;t d'imputer aux concepteurs du Budget 2006/07 une ignorance de nos r&eacute;alit&eacute;s sociales. Quitte &agrave; reprendre une formule d&eacute;j&agrave; utilis&eacute;e pour commenter l'exercice 1996/97 de Manou Bheenick, le Grand Argentier des ann&eacute;es de boom n'h&eacute;site pas &agrave; affirmer que <i>" le gouvernement a d&eacute;clar&eacute; la guerre aux citoyens de ce pays ". </i>D'o&ugrave; un appel direct &agrave; Navin Ramgoolam. Appel, si on comprend bien, &agrave; d&eacute;savouer son ministre des Finances. </p></p></p></p>]]></description>

The reduction of income tax rates, both for companies and individuals, and the phased lowering of rates to 15% in the next three years, are indeed commendable and should put Mauritius back on the high growth track.</P>]]></description>
