Budget adopted. What about election promises? Minister indicates

The Chancellery of the Prime Minister announced on platform X that the government has adopted the budget act for next year. – The government has adopted the draft budget act for 2025 – wrote the Prime Minister’s Office.

Budget adopted. Good and “worse” news

The adoption of the budget and the details contained therein were also announced by the Minister of Funds and Regional Policy, Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz. – We have it! The Polish budget adopted by the government allocates PLN 4.3 billion for housing. That is over 50 percent more than this year! Good news: the budget includes a round PLN 0 for a 0 percent loan.– the head of the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy said in a post on Platform X.

The worse news – as indicated by the minister – is that “the fate of the reserve covering PLN 1.6 billion of this amount remains to be decided”. – A 0% loan also deserves 0 PLN from this pool, and social housing deserves as much money as possible – assessed Pełczyńska-Nałęcz.

The Minister stressed that this will be her position at tomorrow’s meeting of the Economic Committee of the Council of Ministers.

Let us recall that the government adopted the assumptions for the draft budget for next year in June. The Ministry of Finance predicts that GDP growth will amount to 2.7% in 2025, while average annual inflation will amount to 4.1%. The ministry predicts that registered unemployment will reach 4.9% by the end of next year. It assumed that wages in the national economy will increase by 7.1%, and in the corporate sector itself by 7.3%. The government proposed an average annual wage growth rate in the state budget sector in 2025 of 104.1% in nominal terms.

The 2025 budget will be the first full financial planning exercise by the ruling coalition that took power after the October 15 election. This year’s budget was mostly prepared by the previous government, with the new team making only minor adjustments.
