The draft budget calculates a 4% economic growth and a deficit of 2.9% of GDP. State debt is expected to go down to 66.7%, and inflation to an annual 6%.
Despite the challenging circumstances, the government’s aim is to return to a higher growth path of around 4% next year with disciplined fiscal management while curbing inflation to 6%.
