What happened
The Council of Ministers decided to allocate all road tax funds to roads, though the Ministry of Finance later communicated that this decision was not adopted. A compromise was subsequently reached to increase the amount allocated to roads in 2027 without requiring other ministries to cut budgets. The Minister of Public Housing, Spatial Planning, Environment, and Infrastructure, Patrice Gumbs, confirmed that the full implementation of the Road Fund is targeted for 2028.
