The bill would create a temporary relief program that gives fuel subsidies to transport drivers, farmers and fisherfolk, cash payments to low‑income families, and tighter price monitoring of basic goods when oil prices or inflation rise sharply. Funding would come from extra VAT revenues on fuel imports and sales, and the program would be run by six government agencies that must issue rules within 90 days of the law’s effect.
