The joint congressional commission will talk to Hacienda Minister Vicente Bengoa this morning about the supplementary budget request submitted by the minister last week. The RD$31 billion proposal must be approved by the Congress. The meeting is set for 10am in the conference room of the Senate. One of the issues pending is the request for funds from agencies and institutions, but which are not currently included in the proposals. Deputy Ramon Cabrera told Diario Libre reporter Socorro Arias that he was concerned with the missing RD$5 billion needed to recapitalize the Central Bank as planned in the 2008 National Budget. Other requests include RD$325 million said to be needed by the UASD and the Dominican Federation of Municipalities wants 10% of the new money in accordance with the law.
