Minister for Finance Gordana Dimitrievska-Kochoska outlined the strategic priorities for the 2026 budget, emphasizing a focus on realizing capital investments, executing collective agreements, and bolstering national development policies. She stated that the Ministry of Finance’s monitoring approach centers on tracking actual citizen consumption patterns rather than merely adhering to budgetary figures. The Minister underscored the critical role of capital spending, asserting that these funds are essential not merely as expenditures, but as direct investments in sustainable development and the overall standard of living.
Regarding expenditure adjustments, she attributed the elimination of certain capital spending allocations to the demonstrated dedication and efficiency shown by ministers in successfully implementing various projects over the preceding months. In terms of fiscal revenue, the Minister detailed an increase in pension payments. These payments are structured according to individual plans, a measure intended to support and stimulate the growth of the designated managing body (DDB).
Overall, the budgetary strategy aims to balance necessary infrastructure investments with robust social support mechanisms, ensuring that resource allocation directly supports long-term economic stability and human capital development.
