What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Fiscal Council stated that the cash budget deficit could reach 6.25% of Gross Domestic Product in 2026. The main risks to budget execution are the absorption of European funds and the reimbursement of amounts provided in the budget, according to the Fiscal Council's opinion on the draft of the first revision of the general consolidated budget for 2026. A political crisis has caused the budgetary adjustment to be behind schedule and has fueled risk aversion, contributing to a decline in foreign direct investment.
