AIKB wants the budget for 2025. to be rewritten  - 1

The National Council for Tripartite Cooperation has begun to discuss the package of budget laws for next year.

The proposals of the Ministry of Social Affairs are assessed by the Association of Industrial Capital as unrealistic - in relation to the revenues pledged by the Ministry of Finance.

This was reported by the BNR.

Kuncho Stoychev - a representative of the business organization, said that revenues are offered on paper without buffers due to the international situation, and called for the current state budget to continue operating at the beginning of 2025, and the proposed one to be rewritten .

"Let's start talking very seriously and from the beginning about how to reduce costs and how to increase revenues in a realistic way. I understand that you are pressed for time and that a budget must be presented to the National Assembly, but we at AIKB still believe that a delay or even starting with the old budget in the New Year is less dangerous than what we think offers", pointed out Kancho Stoychev.

Business organizations either do not support or refrain from supporting the proposed budget of the Health Fund, as well as unions, which want more funds for hospitals.

"There is a very simple explanation for the fact that in the last few years we simply do not have a political majority to debate comprehensive reforms in the pension-insurance and health systems. Such are necessary". This was said by Maria Mincheva from the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce.
