These conditions have affected investment and consumption decisions, and have contributed to an increased state of anticipation and a slowdown in economic activity .”
He explained that “the government, while aware of the impact of these circumstances, seeks to address the internal obstacles that affect market activity, discuss initiatives to stimulate commercial and productive activity, and explore ways to facilitate financing for productive projects and support the private sector,” indicating that “the goal is to develop applicable measures that contribute to the continuity of business and the provision of job opportunities, taking into account the available financial capabilities and maintaining financial and monetary stability .”

He pointed out that “any action in this regard requires careful study, technical and organizational preparations, and clear mechanisms that preserve the rights of citizens, and it must be officially announced with an explanation of its details before implementation if it is approved accordingly link
