Today, Thursday, economic expert Dargham Muhammad Ali revealed the positives of the current year’s budget, which was approved by the House of Representatives a few days ago.
Ali told Al-Maalouma: “The criticisms raised about the budget are normal, but most of them are based on bias towards the governorates, or perhaps for electoral goals sometimes.”
He added, “The real face of the budget has many positives, including that it is different from previous budgets, as it represented the highest investment ceiling among previous budgets.”
He pointed out, “Allocating financial benefits for the development road project, supporting the private industrial sector, and supporting many infrastructure projects that will contribute in one way or another to activating various economic activities that will benefit in the near future.”
He continued: “The government’s adoption, for the first time, of the principle of diversifying the distribution of projects between the local administrations of the governorates and between the ministries, will reflect positively on the implementation of projects by creating an atmosphere of competition between the ministries and governorates, especially since the government granted the implementation of the ministries’ projects directly.”
He continued, “The budget was based on distributing the governorates’ funds according to deprivation and not on the basis of the proportion of the population, and this will establish the basis for revitalizing the economy of the governorates that suffer from a lack of services and others.”
