Budget draft praised by the business community, but all is not good

The specialists expressed positive opinions mainly on the lowering of the budget deficit, limiting fixed expenditures and delaying the threat of allowing the public debt to exceed 60% of GDP. According to Marek Goliszewski, president of the Business Center Club (BCC), the improvement in the financial situation of the budget is a short-term one based on a combination of higher fiscal revenues and postponing expenditures increases. Henryka Bochniarz, the president of the Private Confederation of Private Employers (PKPP), stressed that the government is limiting expenditures on development, which will be felt in the future. "We are making a similar mistake that Greece made when it used money from the EU to increase social benefits," added Jeremi Mordasewicz from the PKPP. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 4) M.M.
