(CIANEWS) - If the proposed CZK 20bn is saved on the state's operations, it will be possible to maintain a budget deficit of CZK 295bn. Finance Minister Zbyněk Stanjura (ODS) said this, adding that taxes on corporate income and EU funds were expected to help the budget implementation in June. He also expects a surplus in 3Q 2023 thanks to CZK 54bn from the ČEZ dividend and windfall tax repayments. He added that negotiations on current expenditure savings will end in the second half of August.
