The federal budget for the fiscal year 2026 introduces a renewed vision that reflects the leadership’s commitment to a people-centred development approach, positioning human capital as the cornerstone of a cohesive society and a prosperous future. The Federal Budget supports development programmes that empower all members of society, enhance quality of life, and improve government services.
