The draft budget, with a deficit of 6.4%, contradicts the Public Finance Act.
In a Fiscal Council position sent to parliament, experts recommend measures for restricting the deficit in the treasury and structural reforms. The consultative body recommends a deficit of up to 3% of the GDP, and states that it should not be forgotten that next year the country will be evaluated by the European Commission. If the deficit remains as set down in the draft budget, Bulgaria will enter an excessive deficit procedure. The high deficit will lead to an increase in the public debt, and even though the country will remain with a comparatively low debt-to-GDP ratio, the interest on servicing the debt will be a burden.
