Ministry of Finance asks ministries to lower their requests from budget due to underfunding risk

AKIPRESS.COM - Deputy Minister of Finance of Kyrgyzstan Ulukbek Karmyshakov on July 28 during the Government's meeting informed about the risk of underfunding 8.4 billion som to the state budget and asked the ministries and state bodies to reduce their requests, Tazabek  reports.

“To date, 8.4 billion som might not be received, therefore, members of the Government and heads of budgetary enterprises, there are a lot of appeals on additional expenditures and, therefore, we should stop it a little! Otherwise, if 8.4 billion som are not received, there will be a risk of non-fulfillment of the budget,” he said.

Prime Minister Sooronbai Jeenbekov, in turn, said that there should not be a risk of failure to implement the budget after the law on state budget has already been passed.

“A leader, who talks about the risk of non-fulfillment of the state budget should be removed from the post. The issue of the risks must be raised before adoption of the law. The Ministry of Finance should control that” he said.

The Deputy Finance Minister earlier reported that the additional expenditures from the state budget amounted to 19.8 billion som as of July 26, 2017. More than 700 million som were spent for elimination of the consequences of the natural disasters, up to 1 billion – for construction of social facilities for law enforcement bodies, 479 million som – for presidential election, 243 million – for healthcare sector. Some funds were also allocated for kindergartens and school.
