Council of State: Government postpones major interventions and shifts the bill to future generations

FD15 September · 15:351 week ago

The Council of State praises the government's analysis but criticizes the budget. Major reforms remain postponed, while short-term expenditures take priority.

The advisory body highlights a disconnect between long-term fiscal responsibility and current political spending choices, urging more substantial action to address underlying economic challenges rather than deferring critical decisions.
