The parliamentary groups of We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria (PP/DB), GERB/SDS and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) reached agreement on the parametres of the national budget for 2024, at a meeting attended by Finance Minister Assen Vassilev (PP/DB). The principal change is that the budget expenditure will be cut down by 2.4 billion Leva (a little over EUR 1.2 billion), the planned sum that should come from Gazprom for the transit of Russian gas. This will make the budget more realistic.
