In his first official cabinet meeting, the new Prime Minister called on his team to prioritize strategies aimed at alleviating the financial burden on households. This meeting comes on the heels of his announcement regarding a reduction in value-added tax (VAT) on electricity for residential customers.

Reduction in VAT on Electricity

The Prime Minister's decision to cut VAT on household electricity is part of a broader initiative to combat rising living expenses that have been affecting families across the region. The government hopes that this measure will provide immediate financial relief to many households struggling with increased utility costs.
