The additional Budget for the expenditures submitted to the Parliament late Friday night by the Ministry of Finance reaches 2.6 billion euros.
Specifically, the amendment of the Ministry of Finance submitted to the Parliament provides for the expansion by 2 billion euros of the General Government Expenditure Budget managed by the Ministry of Finance. In addition, the credits of the co-financed part of the Public Investment Budget are extended by 600 million euros.
The explanatory memorandum to the amendment further explains that the Supplementary Budget is being promoted as part of the measures taken to address the extremely urgent and emerging needs arising from the energy crisis and the consequent rise in commodity prices as a result of recent adverse geopolitical developments.
In particular, these measures include, inter alia, financial aid and subsidies for fuel and electricity, and aim to support vulnerable social groups, professional groups – such as operators and taxi drivers – as well as to strengthen the agricultural sector through the implementation of actions of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food.
Also, the increased energy and fuel costs of the General Government bodies are covered.
