Social Protection for the Population
Financing social benefits is a critical component of supporting the population, especially during economic uncertainty. The substantial sums allocated to pensions reflect the government's commitment to ensuring citizens' social security. Equally important are the payments for housing subsidies and social assistance, which help alleviate the financial burden on low-income households.
