PKPP sounds off on 2005 budget draft
PKPP's head, Henryka Bochniarz, praised the plan to lower the budget deficit to zł.35 billion from this year's zł.45.3 billion, but she added that the exact way this will be achieved remains to be seen.
PKPPs representatives say that the government-foracasted 5 percent growth next year might prove difficult to achieve, as investments are not likely to be boosted when enterprises are forced to increase their social insurance premiums.
They also pointed to a considerable 23.2 percent rise in spending on social needs, which PKPP interprets as a result of the election year.
The early parliamentary elections will most likely be held in May, while the presidential elections should be carried out in October, 2005. (ISB M.W.)
