PARLIAMENT APPROVES THE 2020 STATE BUDGET. DEFICIT TO REACH 40 BILLION CROWNS

Authors: NRR/UNRR

The Chamber of Deputies approved the draft 2020 state budget Wednesday night.  A total of 108 were in favour of the Act, which plans on a deficit of 40 billion crowns, like the current year.

Total income of the state budget is to amount to 1,578.1 billion crowns, with planned expenditure amounting to 1,618.1 billion.  The approved document plans on an increase of pension expenditure (CZK + 34.9 bn year on year), wage growth for public administration employees, teachers, and non-teaching staff, and an increase in parental contribution, from the current CZK 220,000 to CZK 300,000.  Capital expenses are to amount to 146.2 billion crowns next year, which is 23.9 billion crowns more than this year.

On the income side, in drafting the proposed state budget for 2020, the Ministry of Finance had to account for the continuing slowing of the economy. 

GDP growth is to reach 2%, according to the Ministry’s November macroeconomic forecast, which is less than in each of the four preceding years.  On the other hand, in the European context, it is still a very good result, as the Czech Fiscal Council stated yesterday, in its regular quarterly opinion.

In terms of the income of the state budget in 2020, the Council pointed to certain problem aspects in the document.  The Act on the state budget also counts on certain income the realisation of which depends on the approval of other acts (known as the tax package).  But they have not been enacted yet and, given the length of the legislative process, there is a risk that they will not take effect before 1 January 2020.

That means that the state budget was approved with income that may not be collected, because the relevant legislation may not be enacted at all, or changes will take place during deliberations on them, which will have an adverse impact on the expected collection.
