Moldovan parliament amends state social insurance budget for 2024

Chisinau, Dec. 5 /MOLDPRES/- Parliament approved today the rectification of the state social insurance budget for 2024 in the second reading.

The draft is aimed at specifying the budget revenues and expenditures, given the evolution of the execution in the nine-month period of this year, as well as analyzing in different aspects of indicators: monthly or quarterly dynamics of expenditures in previous years, dynamics of the number of beneficiaries and average sizes of social benefits, seasonality of some benefits, registration of amounts not claimed by beneficiaries. Thus, the sum of revenues and expenditures will amount to 43.04 billion lei.
