The government will approve consolidation measures of €2.3-2.4bn next year, PM Robert Fico said. Just €1.8bn is needed to meet the target of reducing the public finance deficit to the planned 3.7% of GDP, so the government is apparently planning further "social" measures. Among the possible consolidation measures, Fico mentioned a reduction in the number of civil servants, targeted energy price assistance and lower investments. The key basis for reducing the deficit, according to him, should be massive economic growth.
