October 26, 2020
Finance Minister Constantinos Petrides on Monday called on MPs to approve the state budget for next year, citing the need for the financial management of the pandemic and recovering from its impact.
He was presenting the 2021 state budget to the House finance committee. Next year’s budget is €609 million or 8.7 per cent more than last year’s as the government seeks to enhance the budget’s social dimension, including emergency measures to support vulnerable groups, employees and companies, but also to strengthen its growth aspect.
