Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

This decision is viewed as part of a government austerity and fiscal rationalization measure. The money saved from National Day costs is being repurposed for more critical areas, such as education and health programs. This action is intended to curb runaway government expenditure, a widening fiscal deficit, and ballooning public debt.

The Council of Ministers collectively determines priorities and coordinates the overall national budget preparation process, following a prior cut to the preliminary budget resource envelope.
