There could be double delight for Bahraini families during the holy month of Ramadan next month with moves by MPs to increase the monthly anti-inflation allowance.
MPs unanimously approved an urgent proposal to have the BD55, BD77 and BD110 allowances benefiting more than 100,000 families increased.
They believe the move should mirror the decision to double the monthly social welfare allowance for underprivileged families agreed by the Cabinet on Monday.
