The budget surplus will, once again, exceed 1 billion Leva (approximately 500 million euro) at the end of March, the Ministry of Finance forecasts.

Revenues from taxes have increased compared to last year, as has expenditure, but the latter is due most of all to higher payments for health and social insurance as a result of the increase in pensions in July 2016 and of the minimum wage in January.
