Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 75999, member: 636"] Finance Minister Temenuzhka Petkova announced that government officials, unions, and business groups hammered out a deal on the 2026 budget after social partners sorted their beef yesterday. Security and defense sector pay got uncoupled from average wages, and the capital program took a 450-million-euro haircut while spending sits at 40.1% of GDP. The compromise ditched the dividend tax hike, axed the SUPTO requirement, killed the social security contribution increase, and kept the maximum social security income capped at 2,300 euros. [/QUOTE]
