The Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC) took up the proposal in its recent meeting to discuss the recommendations made by the committee’s executive technical board. 


The DBCC-ETB had proposed that the MRT-7 project should have no impact on the government’s deficit reduction program and its contingent liabilities be reduced to the absolute minimum.
