Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says they will be looking at ways to do other things in the budget to ensure that the cost of things are maintained at a particular price and reasonable level.

While speaking at the budget consultation at the Sugar City Mall in Lautoka, Sayed-Khaiyum says people need to remember the price of things will continue to go up for at least 6 months to 1 year because Russia is fighting a war in Ukraine.

Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum will deliver the revised National Budget on the 24th of this month.
