Most Arab countries have announced their budgets for 2025, which reflects an appreciation of revenues and expenditures during a specific period of time, which helps governments, companies and even individuals to effectively plan financially, according to the “Investobide” platform.
To prepare the budget, governments define their sources of income and include: taxes, industrial production, trade, and agriculture, in addition to natural wealth such as oil, gas, gold, silver and uranium.
The collection of taxes is the main means that the two countries use to generate public revenues that enable them to:
- Financing the goods and services they provide to citizens and companies.
- Fulfillment of its role in redistribution.
- Financing investments in human capital and infrastructure.
However, multiple crises have reduced the revenues of developing countries and increased their spending in recent years.
Budget
It is noted that there is a large deficit in the budgets of a number of Arab countries, and governments are working to reduce the budget deficit through the use of a set of financial policy tools to enhance economic growth.
Reduce the deficit and these policies according to the Instosopidia platform:
- Reducing government spending.
- Increased taxes.
- External borrowing, whether from rich countries, through the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund.
- Internal borrowing from national and local institutions and banks, or through the sale of government bonds
- The use of sovereign wealth funds and state savings.
Main notes on Arab countries ’revenues:
Non -oil countries: It depends mainly on taxes, as these taxes in Jordan constitute about 75% of local revenues, and 57% of the public budget, for example.
Oil countries: It relies heavily on oil and gas revenues, as oil revenues constitute 84% of Kuwait’s budget revenues, for example, which is equivalent to 62% of the state’s general budget.
