The country's money plan for next year scheduled to be presented in the National Parliament will happen on Friday.

Prime Minister James Marape said, "The 2025 National Budget will be handed down this Friday, 29th November, and not today as initially scheduled."

The PM has blamed "certain public servants responsible for data input and tidying up" for this delay.

Another deficit national budget will be presented by the Treasury Ian Ling-Stuckey, with anticipated additional funding allocation to the law and justice sector and police.

Other key Marape - Rosso Government priorities of health, education and agriculture will continue to get monetary support.
