Restoring fiscal health, refocusing priorities


WE understand the government has to make choices and trade-offs to manage the medium-term fiscal challenges and limitations. It is indeed a tough and challenging political balancing act for the Finance Minister to craft a responsive budget without impairing growth and worsening the fiscal deficit.

It is a responsible, bold and balanced budget for 2019. It’s a well-crafted budget to rebuild trust in the government, restoring fiscal health and prospering the people.
