GRA Sets D27.5 Billion Revenue Target for 2026 After 21% Growth in 2025

The Gambia Revenue Authority (GRA) has been tasked with collecting D27.5 billion in revenue for 2026, Commissioner General Yankuba Darboe said, stressing that the figure is not an imposed target. Darboe made the remarks yesterday during a press conference reviewing the Authority’s 2025 performance, a year in which GRA surpassed its annual revenue target despite economic challenges. The Authority collected over D25.3 billion in 2025, representing a 21 percent nominal increase compared to the previous year. Darboe attributed the growth to improved compliance measures, ongoing tax administration reforms, and expanded use of digital systems. “The task before us is always to mobilise revenue, but this has to be done in a way that is fair, realistic and responsive to the economic environment,” he said.
