He noted that “Our reform agenda charts a bold path toward resilience, competitiveness, and opportunity. It is about transforming the current stability into long-term prosperity. Resetting for Growth, Jobs, and Economic Transformation 2026 Budget.”
To achieve these objectives, the Finance Minister stated that the government will focus on five key macroeconomic
Objectives:
- We will sustain fiscal discipline and debt sustainability by implementing a prudent debt management strategy, improving revenue mobilization, and keeping spending efficient and targeted;
- we will build and sustain a resilient and inclusive economy with growth powered by productivity, innovation, and private sector enterprise and create decent jobs, especially for our youth;
- We will open structural reforms to modernize the economy, boost productivity, attract private investment, and make growth more broad-based and inclusive;
