Slovenian MPs have started today a discussion on the proposed amendments to the state budget for 2019. Proposed amendments suggest increase in revenues by 6.2% to EUR 10.35bn as well as increased expenditures by 4.8% to EUR 10.16bn.
There is an expected surplus of EUR 193.6m by the end of the year, which amounts to 0.4% of GDP. According to the minister of finance, Andrej Bertoncelj, state budget is now stable and focused on developments that will impact all Β citizens.
Fiscal council warns that expected spending is about EUR 270m too high, posing a risk to medium-term sustainability of public finances.
