"We work for the people and our goal is to serve them," Kouchouk stated. "I will not be happy achieving financial discipline at the expense of the country's economic activity or the citizen."
The Minister urged the financial leaders to support all
government bodies to ensure they perform their roles optimally. "Deal with
flexibility and balance," he advised. "All state bodies must feel you
are supporting them. Perform your role easily and without complications, help
your colleagues, and use all your authorities to advance the provision of
better services to citizens."
Kouchouk also stressed the importance of continuing to work
with a single team spirit to achieve a qualitative leap that everyone can feel.
Addressing the leaders of the Financial Directorates, he
said: "Your responsibility extends to future generations. Work on
continuously developing your performance."
He added that while spending efficiency is crucial, the more
important goal is increasing state resources sustainably. He noted that the
Ministry is working to increase allocations for health, education, social
protection, essential services, and technological transformation.
The Minister indicated that the coming period will give
advanced priority to developing local resources flexibly and efficiently. He
also emphasized the urgent need to finalize the review and approval of the
remaining specialized regulations for private funds and accounts.
Ahmed Haridy, Head of the Accounts and Financial Directorates Sector, responded by saying that serving the people is a trust they bear. He promised that the next phase would witness a significant improvement in performance, with officials acting with greater balance and flexibility to support all state agencies. Haridy added that they would focus on strong investment in human capital to create a generation more capable of achieving their objectives.
