Ministries are to spend another MDL 1 bln till the end of the year

In those two remaining months of the year, Ministries are to spend about MDL 1 bln which is part of the sums planed for 10 months in the state budget, which haven’t been capitalized until now. The reasons of this situation weren’t explained by the Ministry of Finances. This week, Prime Minister Vasile Tarlev took an interest in how the ministries will make it to spend this money in 2 months, when they didn’t succeed to capitalize them during a 10 month period. He declared that the Government pleads for the total executing of the planed part of budget expenses, but requested that these sums are spent efficiently, “not just for the sake of capitalizing “. “You should invest efficiently and implement quality and efficient actions” requested the PM, warning the ministers that, if they spend public money in haste “they risk to be caught up by the Court of Accounts and the Center for Combating Economic Crimes and Corruption” Unsatisfying execution of the share of planned expenses in the state budget has been mentioned this week by the Minister of Finances Mihai Pop in the frameworks of a Government sitting.

In comparison to the last year, the volume of financing from the state budget increased by about MDL 1.58 bln or 25.3%. At the income chapter, the accumulation of MDL 8.44 bln for 10 months has been planned. The collected sum, on the other hand, was of MDL 8.68 bln or by MDL 235.7 mln more, the execution of incomes being of 102.8%.
