WATCH – Breakfast with State Secretary Eva De Bleeker: extra hole in the budget is not 2 but 4.3 billion

Initially, a figure of 2 billion was still circulating, but that turned out to be an underestimate. Eva De Bleeker: “It’s 4.3 billion.” What are they for? “The package of measures for cheaper energy from earlier this year, our efforts for Ukraine, the impact of the crisis on the economy or for measures needed to absorb the last corona waves.”

For example, over 800 million in provision has been set aside for Ukraine. This is intended, among other things, for the reception of refugees or to pay for military efforts. Whether it is spent in full depends on the duration of the conflict.
