Minister of Finance Gintarė Skaistė finds it surprising that the opposition criticises budget deficit for being too high but simultaneously makes proposals to raise budget appropriations by EUR 1.5 billion. State budget deficit is projected to amount to 4.9% of GDP. The first reading of the budget takes place in parliament on Thursday.
