The Plan and Budget Organization presented a comprehensive report on the 1405 budget, including details, key features, projected revenues and expenditures for the coming year. After review, Cabinet members approved the bill’s general framework.

The Cabinet also approved the executive bylaw for Paragraph (b) of Article 19 of the Law on Removing Barriers to Production and reviewed and amended several previous government decisions that had drawn objections from the parliament’s law conformity board.
