Coordination meeting held

Manama : A coordination meeting was held yesterday to discuss sustainable economic development projects and Kingdom’s long-term fiscal security.

The meeting follows the 2017 Government Forum, during which His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister, directed government officials to lead a series of workshops to identify key objectives for the upcoming Government Action Plan (2019 - 2022). 

Commenting on the outcomes of the meeting, Mohammed bin Ebrahim Al Mutawa, the Minister of Cabinet Affairs said citizens remain at the heart of development efforts. The meeting also discussed policies that underpin the Kingdom’s diversification efforts by regulating public expenditure and increasing revenues. 

The final outcomes will be handed over to the Ministerial Committee for Financial Affairs and Rationalising Expenditure for approval, following which it will be discussed at the first workshop which is anticipated to take place next week.
