Minister Barnea emphasized the necessity of including all grants and loans received by the state within the general treasury, identifying projects to be funded from them, and determining expenditures for 2027, while specifying projects to be completed in the coming year.
Funding Priorities and Affected Areas
The meeting addressed programs and development projects for affected areas, and support for the "Syria Without Camps" initiative, and the implications of these priorities within the general budget. It also discussed the preparation of the citizen's budget by providing basic information clarifying budget components, expenditure, and public financial management.
Integration of Government Budgets

Developing the mechanisms for their preparation and implementation was identified as a key axis to enhance financial management efficiency and achieve economic sustainability.
