Rozendaal, 63, was prominent in the “Summer of Heat on Wall Street” campaign that targeted Citibank for its prolific financing of fossil-fuel projects.

The Finance Minister knows how to package her budget speech to garner headlines in the media. The media had already hailed the budget for education in the Interim Budget 2024–25 as “the highest ever” and “historic”. Since the budget allocation for education in the July Union Budget was the same as the interim budget, it wouldn’t have made the headlines.
