Moldova cut state budget by $27m for 2023
The press service of Moldovan Parliament reported that the Government has updated the state budget for 2023 in the second reading, and the amendments envisage its reduction in income and expenses by more than $27m, RIA Novosti reports
According to a report posted on the Parliament's website, the amendments were adopted at night after considering a vote of no confidence in the Government of Prime Minister Dorin Recean. The process lasted almost ten hours. It took more than seven hours to prepare a conclusion on the work of the Government, and almost all the ministers reported. As a result, the opposition bloc of Communists and Socialists, which put forward a vote of no confidence, did not have enough votes to dismiss the Government.
It is noted that the state budget for 2023 is reduced in income and expenses by 497.9m Lei ($27.4m). The savings were redirected to economic and social programmes, as well as to the implementation of new measures intended for state employees.
