Previous sessions on the budget
The annual process of drawing up the central government budget includes two government sessions: the spending limits session in the spring and the budget session in the autumn. The spring negotiation on the General Government Fiscal Plan is known as the spending limits session. In the autumn, the Government convenes for its budget session, where it decides on the budget for the following year.
