Key points include a projected GDP growth of 3.3% for 2024, with expectations to rise to 4.5% in 2025, driven by improvements in agriculture, industry, and services. The budget outlines plans for fiscal consolidation, reducing the fiscal deficit from 5.9% of GDP in 2023 to 4.4% in 2025, and emphasizes debt sustainability through ongoing negotiations with creditors. It also addresses social interventions like the Free SHS program, infrastructure development, and job creation initiatives.
