Deputies will vote on the state budget law today. Yesterday, all proposals on the texts were read, and today the actual discussion on them will begin.
This was reported by BNT.
The law provides for a record high level of both spending and revenue. The set deficit is 6 billion and 400 million leva, and the maximum amount of new debt is 18 billion and 900 million. The calculations were made with an expected economic growth of 2.8%. Between the two readings of the budget, all the opposition proposals were rejected.
However, a proposal was adopted to create a state-owned company under the Ministry of Agriculture to sell food products with a markup of up to 10 percent.
The new budget will guarantee an increase in the salaries of the military, police and teachers. An additional 5% is also set aside for a salary increase in the budget sector. Yesterday, the deputies managed to pass the laws on the budgets of the health fund and social security on second reading.
