Central African Republic: International Alert Over Public Finances of an Aid-Dependent State
The international financial community raised an alert about the Central African Republic's (CAR) public finances on 16 July 2026. Weakened by prolonged armed conflict, the country relies essentially on external aid to finance its budget, including its sovereign functions. The World Bank has substituted for the state in paying civil servants' salaries in the health and education sectors. The information was reported by France 24 from Bangui.
