“This public survey is also a new approach of the MoF, in a series of public consultation papers (PCP), to make the annual budget preparation process more transparent and involve all parties.”

Besides that, it said, the government was confident that the publication of the PCP would provide more opportunities for stakeholders to give their feedback and enable the government to formulate an annual budget that meets the needs of the people and is in line with the country’s socio-economic development policy. - FMT
