Bulgaria's caretaker government will today adopt a draft Law on the State Budget for 2023 to submit it to the National Assembly for debates. 

The projected deficit of 6.4% is not approved by either the trade unions or the business. 
Yesterday, at a meeting of "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" and GERB-SDS with experts from the Ministry of Finance, reserves were found through which the budget deficit can be reduced to 3%. 

"This will most likely happen after this budget is rejected in the first reading with a 6.4% deficit, after which it will be corrected by the ministry and come in with 3% and concrete policies that the parliament would adopt," the co-chairman of PP Asen Vassilev, who is also a former finance minister, explained.
