His Excellency the Minister of Finance, Dr. Suleiman Hafez, said that the 2013 budget is noted for its plausibility and transparency, considering economic and political developments on the regional and global levels, and stressed that the budget comes in line with the pillars of the National Program for Economic and Financial Reform, which aims at controlling and rationing public spending- current spending in particular.
His Excellency the Director General of the General Budget Department, Dr. Ismail Zaghloul, presented the preliminary features of the draft Budget Law for the fiscal year of 2013, stressing that it will be a quality budget taking into consideration the developments in the Kingdom. His Excellency also presented the main assumptions for budget estimation, paying particular attention to exclude any uncertain foreign grants from public revenues.
