The cabinet has decided to take austerity measures to manage the budget that was passed by the People’s Majlis for this year. The cabinet took the decision after discussing a paper submitted by the Ministry of Finance and Treasury.
The Finance Ministry would inform government offices, the details of the austerity measures.
Members of the cabinet noted that, by late this year, the country might have to face enormous challenges unless strict budgetary control measures were not implemented.
The cabinet also decided that basic services to the people must continue without any disruptions.
