"Implementation is a challenge, but as a government, we can only succeed if we get the buy-in of the citizens. Most of the concerns you have raised will be addressed in the budget.

"However, the government cannot do it alone. We urge you to support us in educating the public so they understand that the time has come to reset and reform the economy," the Majority Leader stated.

He highlighted the interconnectedness between macroeconomic policies, the private sector, infrastructure, governance, and corruption, underscoring the need for major reforms.

"The solution is clear. We know the problems and what must be done to fix them. Now, we must begin implementation," he added.

The upcoming budget is expected to outline key reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy and driving growth.
