The Kosovo Assembly’s Budget Committee has approved in principle the draft law on budget allocations for 2027, following discussions between Finance Minister Hekuran Murati and committee members.

The €4.27 billion draft budget received six votes in favor, none against and one abstention.

During the meeting, Murati presented the proposed budget as a plan based on economic growth, increased revenues and fiscal sustainability.

However, opposition representatives raised concerns over the implementation of capital investments and the impact of inflation and rising living costs on citizens' purchasing power.

The draft budget foresees total expenditures of €4.2687 billion and will now proceed to the next stage of parliamentary consideration.
