Ülle Madise says that the changes to the state budget are good. She says that these changes are in accordance with the law.
The Constitution of Estonia states that the Riigikogu prepares the state budget. The government makes some decisions. The annual budget is the responsibility of the Riigikogu.
The Ministry of Finance is preparing a new draft. It does not change the shape of the budget. Ülle believes that the Riigikogu must prepare the budget every year. The Riigikogu allocates funds to the government. It makes changes if necessary.
Ülle is satisfied with the new draft. In her opinion, everything is clearly stated. She also praises the government's use of funds.
Estonia has been implementing activity-based budgeting for 10 years. The 2020 budget was the first of its kind.
