Prime Minister Andrus Ansip made a political statement in connection with forwarding the 2005 Supplementary Budget to the Riigikogu. Mr. Ansip stated that the success of the Estonian economy had enabled to draft a supplementary budget with revenue in the amount of EEK 2.16 billion and the expenses in the amount of EEK 1.89 billion. An improved tax discipline and increasing export made it possible to ensure the increase in pensions as well as investments in health care and education. The presented supplementary budget shows considerable surplus in the government sector – EEK 332.7 million, from which the difference between the revenue and expenses of the state budget is EEK 269.3 million. “The Government has resisted the temptation to incur popular, but short-sighted expenses. We have drawn up a forward-looking budget,” Mr. Ansip stressed. The 2005 Supplementary Budget has been drawn up “with a sense of responsibility regarding budget and finance policy,” Prime Minister explained.
