During a press briefing on Thursday, M. Sinkevičius, the head of the government, addressed questions regarding potential fiscal changes. Concerning the ELTA government program, Sinkevičius noted that the language used does not mandate the introduction or exclusion of any measure.
He emphasized that the wording suggests a degree of flexibility regarding future decisions. Addressing the topic of taxation directly, Sinkevičius stated a clear governmental stance: the administration does not plan to implement any new taxes. Furthermore, he confirmed that the government does not intend to focus its efforts on specific sectors, including businesses, industries, or physical persons and households.
In discussing the broader economic outlook, Sinkevičius cited global instability as a primary source of uncertainty affecting growth forecasts. He specifically pointed to the unpredictable outcomes stemming from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine as complicating factors for the national economy.
