He said the House Commission V and the government agreed to synchronize the budget in accordance with the functions and programs in the draft 2023 state budget based on suggestions, inputs, and proposals of the House Commission V.
He also appealed to the House Commission's working partners to help the state budget support the economic growth, particularly through the use of domestic products.
"The fuel oil price hike is quite burdensome. Of course, the state budget serves as one of the instruments for all of us, particularly the state and the people, to tide through this difficult time. One of the efforts is to make maximum use of the state budget to increase (utilization of) domestic products," he said.
