The Minister of Finance assures that the bill on next year’s State Budget will be presented within the established deadline. “We are at middle of the schedule”, said Veaceslav Negruta in an interview, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. The official said that the methodological guidelines for developing the Budget have been communicated to central and local public authorities in May. “A week ago the Ministry had meetings with district authorities, were local budget projections were discussed. In a week will take place the so-called showdowns, that is, they will come with their projections, we will present our calculations and will try to reach a consensus”, the Minister said. For now, the schedule established for each phase in the development of the Budget bill is being followed. At the end of August the bill will be presented to the Government, added Veaceslav Negruta.
