Disy calls for urgent economic plan but warns against pre-election populism

Opposition party Disy on Monday called for an emergency and holistic plan to address the economic impact of the Middle East crisis, warning that inaction is not an option amid rising uncertainty.

The party issued a statement emphasising that the government should provide specific aid to essential areas of the economy, such as households, the tourism industry, investment projects, farming, and those at risk.

“Measures that support consumers, vulnerable groups, tourism, investment and the primary sector,” the party said.
