Parliament to debate budget, investments and EU funds on Monday
Published
The National Assembly will put the preparation of the 2017 budget, infrastructure investments and changes to EU funds on its agenda on Monday. These topics affect the country's economy and everyday life, which is why citizens and experts will follow the debate closely.
The budget plans the state's revenues and expenditures for one year. During the preparation, members of parliament will examine how the available money is distributed among the various areas. The draft will serve as the basis for later decisions.
Infrastructure investments include, for example, the development of roads, railways and public utilities. These projects have a long-term impact on transport and on the lives of local communities. During the parliamentary debate, it may also come up which developments will receive funding.
EU funds are particularly important for Hungary, because many developments are financed from them. Changes to these funds mean that the rules or the amounts may be modified. More precise information on the details can be obtained at the parliamentary session.
It will become clear after Monday's session what decisions are made on these issues. Further details may also be published later on the parliament's official website and in the media.
