Moreover this will be the second year in succession with a deviation in the deficit, which undermines confidence in the government’s commitment to return to the downward deficit and debt path from 2003. –  By far the greatest part of additional government expenses is directed to current expenses, and only a small part (less than one tenth) to financing investments.
What is needed, therefore, to attain the objective, is: –  To adjust the budget for 2002 to ensure that the deficit set by the government is adhered to;  –  To alter the composition of government expenses so that the addition directed to investments increases.
