Cost-of-living interventions will be made to cushion any spikes in prices, President Irfaan Ali said in his New Year’s address as he also promised a “robust” programme to end the carnage on the roads and free university education beginning in 2025.
In the traditional midnight address, Ali adverted to the impending budget and said it covers key areas including enhanced defence spending.
He said that this year will also see significant investment in education, including preparations for the roll-out of free university education in 2025.
