Lifting the freeze, controlling expenses, and accelerating implementation to purify public investment!

New instructions require ministers to take full responsibility for their projects with no additional funding without justifications and prior study from the financial services. The government issued three new instructions that redraw the rules for managing and financing public investment through strict measures that regulate the flow of funds and projects, obliging all ministerial sectors to submit any budgetary requests exclusively through the Ministry of Finance, while holding ministers fully accountable for proposing and registering projects according to precise and specific objectives. In a notable step, the instructions emphasized the prohibition of requesting additional credits before exhausting all possibilities for internal redistribution, and also established the restriction of lifting freeze measures within a national process to purify public investment.
