Parliament passes landmark fiscal reform after marathon session

Lawmakers approve sweeping changes aimed at broadening the tax base

3 min read

The National Assembly approved a wide-ranging fiscal reform package late on Thursday, concluding one of the longest sittings of the current session.

Supporters described the legislation as a necessary step toward fiscal stability, while critics warned that implementation would determine whether the promised relief reaches ordinary citizens.

The measures include a restructured tax framework, targeted subsidies for essential goods, and new oversight provisions for public-sector spending.

Officials said the reforms would take effect at the start of the next financial year, with a phased rollout across provinces.
