Seimas approves 2017 state budget

The Seimas discussed more than 50 proposals on earmarking of additional funds, however, did not satisfy a single one after a no-go vote from the government.

The administrative sector’s deficit will next year make 0.7 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP), which is 0.1 percentage points more than envisaged in the initial draft prepared by the earlier government. In light of the remarks from the European Commission (EC), the structural deficit of the government sector will total at about 1.2 percent next year, which is a decline by 0.1 percentage points.
