Edun explained that tough measures such as fuel subsidy removal, foreign exchange unification, and market-driven pricing have stabilized the economy, restored transparency, and saved revenues equal to 5% of GDP. These funds, he said, are now being redirected to critical sectors including infrastructure, healthcare, and education, creating a stronger base for small businesses to thrive.
