Fin Min's plans to cut public spending by zł.10 billion

The reform envisages the closure of over 3,000 budgetary units such as training centers. However, Finance Minister Zyta Gilowska failed to convince the whole cabinet to accept all of her proposals. Contrary to Gilowska's plans, local governments will not take over the responsibilities of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) which will continue to construct and maintain national roads. Nevertheless, Gilowska managed to persuade the government to transform the Social Insurance Administration (ZUS) and the Farmers' Social Insurance Fund (KRUS) into a state budgetary unit which means that they will be financed directly from the budget and its income will become a part of the proceeds of the budget.
