Insufficient funds for healthcare and education have triggered a debate in parliament about the 2016-2017 budget, with some claiming that the amounts allocated to social welfare fields are below constitutional requirements. The figures allocated to healthcare, education and scientific research in the country’s new budget are minimal. This in contrast to the government’s plan to increase spending on infrastructure projects. Debt repayments, salaries and subsidies will claim 31 per cent, 24 per cent and 22 per cent, respectively, of the expenditure side of the new budget.
