Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Hussein Eissa convened a strategic meeting on Sunday to follow up on the implementation procedures of the programme and performance budget.
Deputy Minister of Finance for Fiscal Policies Yasser Sobhi alongside senior officials from the Ministry of Finance took part in the meeting.
Opening the discussions, Minister Eissa highlighted the critical role of the programme and performance budget in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of state spending across all allocations.
He also emphasised that its implementation strengthens oversight mechanisms, motivates performance-driven results, and ultimately elevates the quality of services delivered to citizens across multiple sectors.
This is achieved through well-defined programmes and projects within the framework of the general budget, with measurable progress tracked through key quantitative indicators aligned with national targets.
During the discussions, Ministry of Finance officials presented an update on the coordinated efforts with the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development, as well as other state budget entities, to prepare for the full implementation of the programme and performance budget starting in the 2027/2028 fiscal year.
It was confirmed that all preparatory measures comply with the Unified Public Finance Law.
The structured application of this budget, encompassing programmes, activities, and projects, is expected to optimise the use of allocated funds, ensuring that financial resources deliver maximum value and achieve their intended objectives.
The programme and performance budget is a modernised approach to public finance management that links financial allocations to measurable outcomes.
It focuses on improving spending efficiency, enhancing accountability, and fostering results-oriented planning across government entities.
By emphasising the programmes, activities, and quantifiable targets, the system aims to provide more effective public services and ensure that government resources directly contribute to national development goals.
