The government Kurti has pledged that during the 4-year term the state budget will reach 3 billion euros. Former Finance Minister Bedri Hamza, at the same time chief of deputies of the largest opposition party, The PDK has said that the government has not yet submitted a draft budget to see what it offers and how this increase is envisioned.
Hamza, in whose mandate the state budget increased about 300m euros, expects the government of Kurti for budget planning to do so on the basis of the real situation, in order to be a stable and feasible budget.
The government said what the budget would be, we still haven't got the draft budget, and it hasn't been approved in the government. We are waiting for the government to bring us the budget on the basis of what it offers us to see whether it is a stable budget, whether it is a feasible budget or based on funding attitudes. Have fiscal rules in force been respected and the government's priority reflected that we still don't have a government programme that beats without what the government's” programme is, he said.
The former head of the MF believes the trend of economic growth will continue, but will depend on the government's work on what that growth will be.
He has said that as opposition, they will analyse the budget proposed by the government and then decide whether to support it.
If a program is talked about and there is no place in the budget, it is more a wish fountain than a concrete plan. Economic growth will continue, presumptions are for growth to be positive, it is already up to the government on what level economic growth will be. The government needs to implement budget growth. We opposition are to give options, where there is room for criticism, but not unconventional, but we haven't yet received it, he has told Online Economy.
Commenting on the government's recent dismissals, Kurti, Hamza has suggested that law and procedures be respected.
Everything must be done on the basis of regulations. Anything done outside the regulations, by disrespecting the law, can violate the right of the side, could create damage to the budget. The changes if they do not produce concrete effect on improving the situation then are damaging, he has said.
The Finance Ministry, led by Bedri Hamza, has finalised the draft budget for 2020 worth 2 billion and 467m euros -- the budget higher than last year's budget.
Despite that, this budget does not expect to be realised through establishing a new tax or increasing existing taxes.
