SRSG Kubiš welcomes the adoption of the 2016 Federal Budget Law

“I’m encouraged by the decision of the Council of Representatives. In this critical economic environment, the timely passing of the 2016 budget bill permits the Government as well as provincial and local authorities to work under conditions of budgetary predictability, to focus on providing services and support for the population, including millions of IDPs, while maintaining the fight against terrorism of ISIL. The enactment of the budget law permits all stakeholders to agree on further reforms and privatization, which are critical for improving the efficiency and diversification of the ailing economy, while providing for a more enabling atmosphere for growth and job creation”, added SRSG Kubiš.
