Economists, opposition parties criticise budget proposal for 2024
THE MAIN OPPOSITION PARTIES in Finland are unconvinced by the first snippets of the budget proposal of Minister of Finance Riikka Purra (PS), reports YLE.
Purra on Friday revealed she is proposing a budget proposal worth 87.2 billion euros for next year, signalling an increase of 3.7 billion euros from this year. Billed to be the first in a series of budgets that set the government on a path to reverse its debt trend, the budget has a deficit of 10.1 billion euros, a drop of 300 million euros from the budget for this year.
