2007 budget - RD$240 billion

[NewsWhore]

The projected budget for the 2007 fiscal year will be RD$240 billion and is based on two plans. The first includes the announced tax reform, and if it is passed, then the budget will be RD$240 billion. The second plan is for a budget of RD$230 billion in case the tax package does not get through Congress. This information was provided to Diario Libre by Luis Hernandez, the head of the National Budget Office. These figures are significantly different from those quoted last week by Guarocuya Feliz, the head of the National Planning Office, ONAPLAN. He had talked about a 10% increase over last year's RD$238 billion budget or, in other words, a budget of RD$260 billion.
