He stated, “It is necessary to pay attention to the repercussions of sampling at high rates and the pressure it causes on the budget, which depends 95% on revenues from the sale of oil, meaning that we will be in a difficult position if prices decrease according to market fluctuations.”
The government’s 2024 budget timetable is awaited by Parliament so that it may proceed with a thorough reading and eventual approval.
