Government Action Plan Reduced to 150 Tasks

Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs (AS) revealed on Monday after a coalition meeting that the number of tasks in the government's action plan has been reduced from 215 to 150. The government is set to decide on approval on Tuesday, July 21.

Last week, the review was postponed because some measures could not be implemented within the current budget. According to Kulbergs, the plan now includes 61 priority tasks, 17 of which are financially intensive and require individual assessment. 30 tasks were deemed insignificant, while 35 tasks had financial impact outside core activities – if ministers find funding, they can proceed.

The Prime Minister did not specify which sectors were affected but stated that trivial tasks not aligned with the declaration were removed. The feasibility and fiscal impact of each task were evaluated.

It was previously reported that only three of the 61 priority tasks were fully implemented in the first month. Kulbergs expressed dissatisfaction with the small number of completed tasks but emphasized that groundwork has been laid for the remaining tasks.

The action plan requires institutions to submit monthly progress reports to the State Chancellery by the 30th of each month. The first report is due by July 30, and a comprehensive report on all measures by October 15.

The order also revokes the previous government's action plan.
