Minister pledges 5% deficit budget

The minister of Economy announced his commitment to a budget with a 5% deficit, stating he is willing to bear "whatever the cost" to achieve this goal. The statement came as the budget proposal is set to be presented to the National Assembly on Tuesday.

Budget discussions begin in National Assembly

Delegates in the National Assembly are preparing to review the proposed budget, which includes a significant deficit. The minister’s remarks highlight the government’s focus on economic priorities despite the financial implications.

Deficit figures raise concerns

A 5% deficit means the government will spend significantly more than it collects in revenue, raising questions about long-term fiscal sustainability. Economists and analysts are closely watching how this budget will affect public services and national debt.

Economic strategy under scrutiny

The proposed budget reflects the government’s current economic strategy, which prioritizes growth over immediate fiscal restraint. Critics argue that such a high deficit could lead to inflation or increased borrowing costs in the future.
