Hinting at some key pillars of the budget, the Minister said it will focus on restoring macroeconomic stability, arresting the escalating cost of living, achieving moderate growth and completing ongoing government projects across the country.
This, he said the budget statement is a prerequisite for securing an International Monetary Fund (IMF) deal and therefore must be carefully crafted in order to get the buy-in of all segments of society.
