Muscat : The Shura Council today hosted Sultan Salim Al Habsi, Minister of Finance, to discuss the ministry's statement on the draft State Budget for the fiscal year 2025. The meeting was held as part of the Council’s 2nd session of the 10th Term’s second annual sitting. Khalid Hilal Al Maawali, Chairman of the Shura Council, said that the meeting reflects the Council’s keenness to learn about upcoming year’s volume of revenues, expenditure estimates, economic growth rates, the financial and monetary policy, the size of savings versus investment and oil production rates and prices. For his part, Al Habsi said that financial measures and policies applied by the government since 2020, coupled with a rise in oil prices, directly reflected on the improvement of the Sultanate of Oman’s economic and financial indices—the most prominent of which is a decline in the public debt and the restoration of investment worthiness. Al Habsi pointed out that the government keeps managing the state's public finances in accordance with preset plans aimed to enhance the growth of non-oil revenues and upgrade the efficiency of public spending, in addition to cutting down public debt to help achieve financial sustainability and economic growth. The minister affirmed that the draft State Budget 2025 was designed to enable the government to maintain the smooth flow of financial, economic and social stability. This, he added, goes in line with the financial framework of the Tenth Five-Year Plan and Oman Vision 2040. He explained that the estimates of State Budget 2025 accomodated all measures for providing insurance coverage and protection for various segments of society, maintaining the level of spending on basic services (like education, health and housing) and stimulating the national economy by enhancing the growth of companies and projects that support economic diversification. The session reviewed prominent features of the budget, including financial, economic and social aspects and the basic assumptions that shaped the projections of State Budget 2025 in tandem with oil prices and global variables. The meeting also dealt with the estimates of public revenues, public spending, public debt management, deficit and financing, inflation rates, investment spending, development project priorities and means to maintain the sustainability of development achievements and realizing economic and social goals that are targeted by the government. The session touched on three bills of law referred by the government, namely the draft “Real Estate Regulation Law”, the draft “Communications and Information Technology Regulation Law” and the draft “Anti-Human Trafficking Law”. The meeting also endorsed the report of the Economic and Financial Committee on the draft State Budget 2025.

‘Real reason’ Dean McCullough got record stars in Bushtucker Trial – and it’s NOT because he faked fear, says Radio1 palIn a recent blog post, Mary Trump warned about the alleged influence of Russian President Vladimir Putin on her uncle, President-elect Donald Trump . What Happened : Mary Trump expressed her apprehensions about her uncle’s admiration for Putin, suggesting it could negatively impact U.S. support for Ukraine amidst the ongoing Russian invasion. She called Trump “Putin’s puppet” and cautioned that his actions could leave Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a vulnerable position. In her post , Mary Trump also criticized her uncle’s admiration for Elon Musk , alleging that Musk has been in regular contact with Putin since 2022. “Of all the unthinkable scenarios we’ve been forced to consider since Donald won the election on November 5th is the possibility that all of this will have been for nought,” Mary Trump wrote. “After all, the fate of Ukraine and Zelensky may rest with Donald Trump, Putin’s puppet, a man who is enamored of and beholden to the very autocrat who wants to destroy our ally.” Also Read: Mary Trump Warns of ‘Tyranny’ and ‘Fascism’ Following Uncle’s Victory Meanwhile, Zelensky warned this week that Ukraine could lose the war if the U.S. cuts military aid. His comments followed the Biden administration’s announcement of a new $275 million military aid package for Ukraine. Zelensky acknowledged the potential influence Donald Trump could have on ending the war, stating, “Yes, he can,” but said it would not be simple. He emphasized the importance of maintaining unity between Ukraine, Europe, and the United States, warning that a loss of this unity could have dangerous consequences. Why It Matters : The allegations by Mary Trump underscore the complex and potentially precarious relationship between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine. The influence of Putin on Donald Trump, if true, could significantly alter U.S. foreign policy and its stance towards the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Furthermore, the alleged contact between Elon Musk and Putin raises questions about the role of private sector leaders in international politics. This situation warrants close observation as it unfolds, given its potential to reshape geopolitical dynamics.
