The amount intended to finance Moldova’s state budget from the placement of government securities will be increased in 2024 from 5 billion to 6 billion lei.
This is provided for by amendments to the Law on the State Budget for 2024, which were prepared by the Ministry of Finance. The department’s materials say that changes to the state budget for 2024, among other things, stipulate an increase in the amount intended to finance the budget deficit from the placement of government securities in 2024 by 1 billion lei - from 5 billion to 6 billion lei. Domestic debt will increase by 1 billion lei due to an increase in the volume of government securities issued on the domestic market. At the same time, the previously approved amount of 330 million lei will remain at the same level, which is planned to be used this year to repurchase bonds issued for the Ministry of Finance to fulfill payment obligations arising from state guarantees. It is envisaged that in general the 2024 state budget deficit will increase by 1 billion 187.8 million lei - up to 16 billion 777.8 million lei (5.06% of GDP). At the same time, of the total amount, the 2024 state budget deficit, as far as the main component concerns, will amount to 14 billion 096.4 million lei (+1 billion 477 million lei, compared to the previously approved figure), or 84%, and as far as projects financed from external sources - 2 billion 681.4 million lei (-289.2 million lei), or 16%. At the same time, it is planned to change the structure of sources of financing the state budget deficit due to a revision of the amounts of internal sources and receipts of external loans, including for projects financed from external sources. // 18.06.2024 - InfoMarket.
