It seems unlikely that the National Budget 2024-25 would present before the National Assembly on June 10. A daily English has reported that key factors which are compulsory before the presentation of budget are missing, casting a doubt on its scheduled announcement.
The prime minister and the key members of his team are leaving for China today and they would return on June 8, making for them difficult to head the key meeting to develop strategy.
The meeting of the national economic council is yet to be held. The meeting is compulsory to set the targets and review import sectors progress. Similarly, the planning ministry meeting held without knowledge of the minister, creating differences and putting the minister in shock who was visiting Malaysia, according to the source. So the agenda passed in the meeting is unlikely to get the minister’s nod.
These key factors have created doubt on the scheduled presentation of the budget on June 10.
