During the Pre Budget Document 2015 launch, the Minister for Finance Prof. Edward Scicluna underlined that the Government’s commitment to achieving macro-economic stability, and to ensuring a higher level of certainty for local and foreign investors, has paid off in terms of growing business activity, job creation and higher consumption.
Titled ‘Creating Opportunities, Not Dependencies’, the document lays out the government’s vision for the upcoming Budget 2015, which will look towards ensuring that social welfare reflects the government’s objective of creating opportunities while discouraging dependencies. At the same time, sustainable social protection will be guaranteed.
