Government is working on extending the extended budget

The government has been working on extending the so-called extended budget until the adoption of Budget 2026. This was announced by Deputy Minister of Finance Kiril Ananiev at a meeting of the National Council for Tripartite Cooperation. "Until the election campaign cycle begins, we believe that this so-called extension law will have to be extended until the adoption of a regular budget for the current year," Ananiev said.

He pointed out that the extension law provides that if revenues were not implemented in the planned amounts, expenditures would be reduced proportionally. In December 2025, the parliament voted on the so-called extension law on the budget after the draft budget for 2026 was not adopted following mass protests in the country.
