The government plans to continue fiscal measures to manage fuel price volatility while maintaining fiscal sustainability. Investigations into bank fraud cases involving absconding accused are ongoing, with asset confiscations underway. Additionally, the government approved interest subsidies for ethanol projects to boost biofuel capacity, and household savings rose to 21.7% of GDP in FY25, supported by regulatory and fiscal measures.
