Minister of State and Minister of the Interior, Brahim Merad, detailed the proposed 2027 budget for his department during a hearing at the National People's Assembly. The budget is primarily designed to support local municipalities and fund immediate, grassroots projects, including water access, sewage systems, energy infrastructure, road maintenance, and primary school facilities. With commitment authorizations set at 1,562.5 billion dinars, the plan prioritizes service efficiency and public utility. Additionally, Merad emphasized the importance of providing necessary resources for regional administrative reforms, including the operationalization of the eleven new wilayas.
