Money and business Economy Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi revealed, today, Friday (November 22, 2024), the financial and economic cost of the general population census.
Al-Marsoumi said in a post on Facebook that “the total financial and economic cost of the general population census amounted to 951 billion dinars.”
He explained that "the direct financial cost of the census amounted to 459 billion dinars, while the cost of suspending official work amounted to 492 billion dinars."
Al-Marsoumi added, "The economic cost is increasing due to the halt of public and private economic activities, and many individuals and local communities are harmed as a result, especially the poorest groups who depend on earning their living on a daily basis in normal times and do not save any resources to use during the curfew. "
The economic expert pointed out that "the population census could have been conducted without the need to impose a comprehensive curfew in the country, even if that led to extending the data collection period for several more weeks, in order to save costs and take into account vulnerable groups and workers in the private sector." 153 views https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=50106
