Republic of Yemen: Developing a Short-Term Emergency Revenue Plan Embedded in Structural Reforms for the General Taxation Department

This technical assistance report responds to a request from Yemen’s Prime Minister and acting Minister of Finance to support the General Taxation Department (GTD) in formulating a short-term emergency revenue plan embedded within broader structural reforms. The mission, conducted by the IMF’s Fiscal Affairs Department and METAC in August-September 2025, assessed Yemen’s complex fiscal and political environment, evaluated progress on prior recommendations, and identified critical challenges in tax administration. The report proposes a 12-month emergency revenue plan with 32 targeted actions focusing on governance, revenue management, compliance, digitalization, and stakeholder collaboration.
