Officials indicated that the government aims to secure legislative approval for the annual budget at the earliest.
Employee welfare is another major focus. The Cabinet is set to approve guidelines for a cashless medical treatment scheme for government employees, involving a 1.5 percent contribution from basic pay to the Employees Health Care Trust.
