As articulated in the Post-COVID-19 program for Economic Growth (PC-PEG), the 2023 national budget aims to restore macroeconomic stability and accelerate economic transformation. This is built on the theme of “Restoring and Sustaining Macroeconomic Stability and Resilience through Inclusive Growth & Value Addition.” It is built around a seven-point agenda that focuses on aggressively mobilizing domestic revenue through various tax reforms, streamlining and rationalizing expenditures, increasing local productive capacity, promoting and diversifying exports, protecting the poor and vulnerable, expanding digital and climate-responsive physical infrastructure, and implementing structural and public-sector reforms.
