The Ministry of Finance is taking proactive steps to overhaul the pricing of government public services as part of the public financial sustainability axis outlined in the government work program for 2024-2027. Informed sources revealed to Al-Anbaa that the ministry is collaborating with various government agencies to conduct “intensive” meetings aimed at implementing this initiative.

During these meetings, a comprehensive strategy for the repricing process of government services will be devised. This includes the development of a clear mechanism to analyze the cost and impact of government “goods and services.” The initiative aims to streamline service pricing by establishing a database containing essential information such as service names, definitions, descriptions, types, categories, and the number of transactions conducted annually.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Finance intends to elucidate the objectives of the repricing initiative and the necessary data requirements. This includes outlining the goals of the initiative and specifying the types of data needed to facilitate the repricing process effectively.

The initiative underscores the government’s commitment to enhancing financial sustainability and optimizing the delivery of public services. By ensuring transparency and efficiency in service pricing, the government aims to improve fiscal responsibility and enhance overall governance.

As discussions progress and plans are solidified, stakeholders anticipate positive outcomes that will contribute to the long-term financial stability and effectiveness of government operations.
