Cabinet calls fiscal deficit further – NU.nl

This expectation appears in the Spring 2016 which was presented Friday by Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem (Finance).

This is an interim adjustment to the budget this year. When it was presented on Budget Day last year, the government expected a budget deficit of 1.5 percent.

” The Treasury is going well. It is better to blame than expected, ” said the minister after the cabinet meeting. ” I am a happy man. “

Security and Justice

Security and Justice hoped for more money. The boss of the Public Prosecutor, Herman Bolhaar, previously pleaded this week for 40 million to the PPS.
