Cabinet agrees on 2024 Budget; A "balanced" package, Finance Min. says

The Cabinet has reached an agreement on next year’s budget. According to the demissionary Finance Minister Sigrid Kag, it is a “balanced package.” She wouldn’t say anything about the details of the package. These will be announced on Budget Day. She did say that the budget is covered. But she couldn’t say whether everyone for whom poverty is threatening can breathe a sigh of relief. “I can’t look into everyone’s wallet.” However, the government has drawn up the budget “with an eye for” the lower incomes.
