Cabinet plans budget cuts
Cabinet spokesperson Mohamed Adel announced the approval of a three-month plan to rationalize government spending in preparation for the effects of regional tensions. The plan will apply to entities covered by the state budget without affecting essential services. It calls for cutting electricity and lighting consumption at government offices by 20% compared with the same period last year, and reducing fuel use by government vehicles by at least 30%. It also includes slowing some fuel-intensive projects, halting unnecessary expenditures, not launching new projects, and suspending purchases of government vehicles until June 30, 2027. The government exempted health services, university hospitals, subsidies for basic commodities, fuel and gas. It also maintained spending on the “Decent Life” initiative, education, water and sanitation projects, food security, and energy. It did not decide to reinstate working from home on Sundays.
