Szydło: Budget is “stable”

As of the end of November of 2016, approximately half of the annual (2016) budget had been spent, the Polish Prime Minister, Beata Szydło, said in a press release on Thursday. However, the PM did not specify exactly what that amount would be at the end of 2016. Last week, the Ministry of Finance announced that the budget deficit at the end of November totalled PLN 27.6 billion, or 50.4 percent of the annual budget plan of PLN 54.7 billion.  Szydło added that the budget outlook for 2017 was stable.
