The Dh42.2bn no-surplus and zero deficit budget covers all ministries and the affiliated federal institutions.
The FNC also obtained an approval from Al Tayer to increase the budget by AED 53mn.
Al Tayer disclosed that the Ministry of Finance and Industry is planning to prepare a revenue law, which will incriminate the default by individual emirates to contribute their shares to the federal budget income.
