The authorities and business continue to discuss the parameters of the Budget 2026. A new meeting is expected today to seek a common ground on the parameters of the state's budget plan for next year.
There is still no clear position from business on whether it will return to the tripartite talks on next year's budget. The increase in the "dividend" tax and the pension insurance contribution were the main topic of yesterday's meeting at the Ministry of Finance of representatives of employer organizations.
The parameters of the budget for next year urgently brought the two sides together after business boycotted the meeting of the National Council for Tripartite Cooperation earlier in the week. Yesterday, GERB Leader Boyko Borisov met with employers at GERB headquarters and discussed the draft budget and the need for fiscal discipline.
