President Leonel Fernandez is chairing a meeting of the National Development Council (CND) in the Presidential Palace today to analyze line items of the 2010 National Budget. Minister of Hacienda Vicente Bengoa says that the budget will exceed this year's RD$329 billion total.
Bengoa told reporters that Budget Director Luis Hernandez would present the project to Congress for study and approval on Wednesday or Thursday.
The Minister said that he would not be at the presentation to Congress because he is visiting Washington D.C. in connection with the US$300 million disbursement being made following the signing of the Stand-by Arrangement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
