Ministers debating 2025 state budget

The Czech cabinet is due to hold its first session after the summer break on Wednesday evening and ministers have already started discussing next year's state budget. According to Transport Minister Martin Kupka it is clear that the deficit in 2025 will have to be lower than this year's CZK 252 billion and the goal is to keep it under CZK 235 billion. However, several ministers have already indicated that the money allotted to them in the initial draft is insufficient for their needs.
