The government program focuses on securing fuel supplies and controlling prices in the short term, with import contracts under deferred payment schemes and a gradual targeting of subsidies. The announced reform covers priority uses, particularly public transport, while reducing the fiscal burden. The stated policy maintains social safety nets without abandoning fiscal discipline. The administration has begun consultations with logistics operators and retailers to reduce supply disruptions.
