The Ministry of Finance has still not released the overdue weekly fiscal updates, which were initially scheduled for the fourth week of July 2024. This continued delay is increasingly concerning, particularly given the importance of these reports in providing transparency and insight into the country’s financial health.
The Ministry’s website continues to display a notice stating that “The next issue of the weekly fiscal updates will be published during the fourth week of July 2024, as reconciliation works are underway.” However, nearly a month has passed since that deadline, with no further communication or explanation from the Ministry regarding the prolonged delay or a new expected release date.
This lack of timely financial reporting is troubling, as it leaves a significant gap in the public’s understanding of the current economic situation. The delay highlights the need for improved transparency and accountability in the Ministry’s operations, especially in times of economic uncertainty. The situation remains unresolved, and it is crucial that the Ministry addresses this issue promptly to restore confidence in its commitment to transparent financial management.
