Minister of Finance Özdemir Berova made evaluations about the 2025 Central State Administration Budget Bill in the 45+ program he attended on BRT.
Stating that the Budget Bill was approved by the Council of Ministers and sent to the Parliament, Berova said that the important thing is for the budget to be passed by the parliament.
Berova announced that the largest share in the budget approved as 148 billion 240 million 829 thousand TL was made up of the general budget with 136 billion 280 million TL, while special budget administrations, regulatory and supervisory institutions and extra-budgetary funds were envisaged as 11 billion 960 million 829 thousand TL.
Minister Berova said that the budget deficit is predicted to be 17 billion 618 million TL.
Reminding that they predicted a deficit of 6 billion 780 million TL in 2024, Berova noted that the finance sector has a total debt of less than 1 billion 700 million TL…
Berova stated that they are progressing step by step in the fight against informality, but that there is a long and difficult road ahead of them, and that they plan to make life cheaper with steps that will take control of the market in 2025.
Stating that the budget figures for 2025 have increased due to high inflation, Berova noted that the increase in exchange rates is one of the main factors in this increase.
Stating that they expect annual inflation to be close to 60 percent by the end of 2024, Berova noted that they foresee the annual inflation in 2025 to be 35 percent.
Minister Berova explained that the Government made political decisions and paid the cost of living 3 times in order not to crush the people under high inflation in 2024, and this caused a problem in public finances.
He said that in 2025, the cost of living will be paid twice, but there will be a change in the calculation method.
Providing information about income-increasing measures, Berova said that rental fees will now be paid through banks, salaries will be deposited through banks in workplaces with more than 3 employees, and efforts are being made to reduce the use of cash in the market.
Berova noted that some revenue-increasing laws will be passed by the parliament immediately.
Pointing to savings measures, Minister Berova stated that the appropriations will be strictly followed and emphasized that there is no luxury of making unforeseen expenses.
Berova emphasized that 2025 will be completed with serious fiscal discipline and the deficit will remain below the predicted level.
