"It makes no sense to tax everyone with excess profits. One should think a little before making such proposals".

This is what the economist Evgeniy Kanev told bTV about the proposals of the Acting Finance Minister Rositsa Velkova. 

Kanev added that from everything said by the acting finance minister, the elephant in the room is missing - there is not a single word about the revenues in the budget.

The management of executive agencies should be changed to improve revenue collection in the state, the economist insisted.



He added that the only criteria that can be met to control inflation are public investments.

Economist Mihail Krastev noted that the Ministry of Finance will pursue such parameters in the budget so that Bulgaria can enter the Eurozone.

The draft budget, which the Ministry of Finance will introduce in the first days of the new parliament, is doomed to failure, Krastev believes.

He pointed out that the process of Bulgaria's entry into the Eurozone also depends on the financing of social costs.

The Ministry of Finance cannot imitate debt the way it wants, added Krastev.



Economist from the Institute for Market Economy Lachezar Bogdanov added that every April a medium-term budget framework is prepared and the finance minister must give his opinion.

There is nothing extraordinary about any of this, but otherwise financial stability is a deficit – if there is too much of a gap, it must be financed somehow.

Therefore, most countries are looking to enter into some frameworks.

The debate is how to make a budget with a very low deficit, emphasized Bogdanov.

Economists explained whether there is a risk to the fiscal stability of our country

He urged the caretaker government to submit a draft budget with a lower deficit and lower spending.

At the moment, the markets have normalized, things are moving towards a normal situation and we must have a normal budget management, and not introduce exoticism into the budget framework, Lachezar Bogdanov said.

He defined the proposal to change the leva-euro exchange rate as irresponsible and as something that will not allow Bulgaria to enter the Eurozone.

This will be a test for all parties in parliament.

How the parties will want Bulgaria to enter the Eurozone, when they are ready to vote for a budget with a 6% deficit, rather than a 3% one, wonders Bogdanov, according to whom we don't have free money to constantly take out loans.
