Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki informed on Monday that the Council of Ministers adopted a draft bill on no-deficit budget for 2020.
The draft bill on 2020 balanced budget was already adopted by the government in September. However, in line with a rule of discontinuation, parliament of the new term cannot proceed with passing bills that had been submitted, but not adopted in the previous term.
Just like the budget bill from September, the one adopted on Monday also envisages that the state income and expenses will be equal, and thereby making the budget balanced. "The budget for the year 2020 is to be balanced. Income and expenses are to be equal at 435.3 billion zlotys," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference on Monday, after the cabinet meeting.
The head of the government explained that the draft budget bill has been slightly changed, among other things, health care spending has been increased.
