Bulgaria's caretaker Prime Minister Galab Donev recommended to the MPs to seek a solution on how to reduce the budget deficit from 6.4% to 3%. The government is holding an extraordinary meeting today with the task of adopting the draft state budget for 2023 and submitting it to the National Assembly. 


The Prime Minister's comment was provoked by the words of the co-chairman of "We continue the change" Asen Vasilev, that the draft budget with a deficit of 6.4% will be rejected in the first reading and the Ministry of Finance will have to submit a second budget with a 3% deficit . 


"After our ideas for revenue measures were not adopted, it is responsible to present a budget developed according to the current legislation", Galab Donev answered.
