A new direct cash support for citizens will be provided through the ‘Citizen Account Programme’.
The announcement was made during a high-profile meeting between the government and legislators at the National Assembly Complex in Gudaibiya today.
A key highlight of the discussions was the programme, which aims to streamline and consolidate government subsidies, ensuring financial assistance reaches those in need more effectively.
The ‘Citizen Account Programme’, as announced by Finance and National Economy Minister Shaikh Salman bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, will provide direct cash support for the citizens, including subsidies for fuel, electricity and water.
The initiative seeks to enhance purchasing power, especially for low-income families, while also improving subsidy efficiency through a unified administrative system.
