The parliament has approved a revised 2021 budget which incorporates (i) COVID-19 vaccine spending;, (ii) additional measures for youth and women employment;, (iii) a weaker economic outlook given the prolonged impact of the pandemic; and (iv) higher energy subsidies. Preliminary estimates suggest that the fiscal costs for the vaccination effort in 2021-2022 will be about 0.5 percent of GDP. The government plans to vaccinate 20 percent of the population by end-2021 and at least 60 percent by the end of the first quarter of 2022.
