Economic Affairs covers a wide range of issues related to producing, distributing and consuming goods and services. The objectives are diverse and aim to ensure the overall economic well-being and stability of a country. Well-managed economic affairs provide a foundation for economic resilience, enabling societies to thrive in the face of challenges and uncertainties.
