The 17 priority programs are strategically divided into four main categories. First, programs aimed at strengthening and protecting purchasing power focus on maintaining the economic well-being of citizens. Second, initiatives under public services aim to improve the quality and accessibility of essential services. Third, measures for price stability and production work to maintain economic balance. Lastly, investments in public infrastructure and productivity are designed to enhance the country's overall economic capacity.

The scale of expenditure indicates a proactive approach to implementing the administration's economic agenda. As the government continues to execute these priority programs, the focus remains on achieving tangible outcomes that positively impact the economy and society at large.
