Dacic said that the strategy that will be implemented by Vujovic will be based on four pillars – reduction of budget costs, including the reduction of salaries and pensions, reducing the gray economy, increasing tax collection and increasing the efficiency of public enterprises.
He recalled that Vujovic has a lot of experience, including his work at the World Bank.
The First Deputy Prime Minister said that the surplus in the budget in July amounts to RSD 107 billion, thanks to the measures taken in the previous period.
This is not of permanent character, but it is certainly a good news, said Dacic.
Dacic said that the plan is to return within three years to a sustainable level of deficit and public debt, adding that detailed measures of financial consolidation will be seen in the revised budget that will be adopted in mid-September.
The First Deputy Prime Minister called on MPs to support the new Minister of Finance.
Vujovic, who resigned as Minister of Economy, was proposed to be Minister of Finance by Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic.
