Somalia's 2026 federal budget

Published by Xogsawir, a Jaantus project. 4 December 2025.

Somalia's 2026 federal budget plans $1.37 billion in spending against $1.30 billion in revenue, a deficit of $74.9 million. About $828 million, or roughly two thirds of total spending, is financed externally through donor-funded projects and direct budget support. Domestic taxes, mostly from international trade, and non-tax revenue cover the remaining third. Goods and services and the public wage bill dominate spending. Capital spending, grants, and social benefits sit almost entirely on the donor-financed side of the ledger. That exposes service delivery to shifts in external funding priorities and disbursement risks.

Donor-funded projects and direct budget support are shown as a single external-financing channel to keep the diagram legible. Figures are in nominal US dollars.
