Dr. Majid Al-Ansari on Budget Cuts
Dr. Majid Al-Ansari, Advisor to the Prime Minister and spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar, clarified that the Financial Times report about the country's reduced spending is inaccurate. He explained that the 30% cut was related to precautionary measures at the outset of the crisis and not due to reductions in salaries or capital expenses. He pointed out that only operational expenses were decreased as part of financial policy reinforcement during the war situation in the region, while maintaining salary stability, essential stockpiles, and ensuring the continuity of national development. He also emphasized that there have been no supply shortages or salary issues in recent months. The report stated that Qatar reduced the budgets of ministries by up to 30% and cut foreign aid funding by 85%, but officials confirmed that these figures are not accurate and that the primary focus has always been on citizens and residents.
