Government fails to approve action plan due to lack of funding for over 200 measures
On Tuesday, July 14, the Latvian government did not approve its action plan because many of the 215 measures lack funding and would require amending this year's budget. Coalition partners await a proposal from the Prime Minister and Finance Minister, but no specific measures to be dropped have been named.
The Latvian government on Tuesday, July 14, failed to approve its action plan as more than 200 of the 215 planned measures have no secured funding. Implementing them would require amendments to this year's budget, which the government is not currently prepared to make.
Coalition partners are waiting for a proposal from the Prime Minister and Finance Minister on how to proceed. However, no specific measures that could be abandoned have been named by any coalition representatives.
The action plan covers a wide range of activities across various sectors, but the lack of funds casts doubt on the implementation of most of them in the near future. The government will need to decide which measures to prioritize and which to postpone in order to balance the budget.
