Schillerová's first priority will be next year's budget, which she wants to have ready in January

The first priority of the new Minister of Finance, Alena Schillerová (ANO), at the helm of the ministry will be the draft state budget for next year, which she wants to submit to the government by the second half of January. Among her other goals, she listed combating the shadow economy, tax evasion, and introducing electronic sales reporting (EET) for all categories of merchants from 2027. She also wants to begin talks with the heads of subordinate organizations as soon as possible. Schillerová said this on Monday to journalists after Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) officially installed her in office. According to her, the condition of the Ministry of Finance and its organizational units is unsatisfactory, and she therefore plans to order an internal audit of budgetary processes later on Monday.
