The Ministry of Finance announces that the revised proposal, which contains the changes discussed in the parliamentary Finance and Budget Committee, will be submitted to Parliament for final approval. Under this rebalance, total budget revenues are projected to reach 379.5 billion denars, while total expenditures are planned at 425.8 billion denars.
Additional funds have been channeled toward clearly defined priorities: an increase in agricultural subsidies, extra funding for rail transport, promotion of sports activities, and improved conditions for students. At the same time, resources have been secured for vulnerable social groups, including social assistance, advocacy associations, social kitchens, and deinstitutionalization programs, alongside additional resources for the healthcare system.
A central element of this revision is the launch of the national SOS emergency line and the bringing into operation of two new care centers for victims of domestic and gender-based violence. The rebalance also sets a significant rise in capital investments, which reach around 46 billion denars, marking a 14.5% expansion compared to the original budget, while expenditures on goods and services have been reduced.
The budget deficit is projected at 46.3 billion denars, representing 4.1% of the Gross Domestic Product, while economic growth remains estimated at 3.5% for 2026.
