State budget revenues will amount to € 10.77 billion in 2020, and expenditures to € 10.36 billion. The budget will thus have a surplus of € 415 million or 0.8% of GDP.

The main budget revenues are value added tax (€ 4.19 billion), excise duties (€ 1.53 billion), personal income tax (€ 1.36 billion), corporate income tax (€ 1.11 billion) and funds received from the EU (€ 1.07 billion).

In 2020, € 393 million will be earmarked for science, which is significantly more than in previous years. We will spend € 193 million on promoting competitiveness and entrepreneurship and € 1.2 billion on social security. We will earmark € 983 million for internal security and additional € 317 million for the operation of courts and prosecution, the enforcement of criminal sanctions and for increasing the efficiency of judicial system. € 1.9 billion will be earmarked for education and sports, € 273 million for the environment and environmental infrastructure. Almost € 1 billion will be transferred from the state budget to the pension fund, from which pensions are paid to more than 600,000 retirees in the amount of € 5 billion annually. Investment expenditure is planned at € 1.1 billion. More than half of these funds will be allocated to the financing of rail and road transport infrastructure.

€ 751 million is earmarked for interest payment from the state budget in 2020, which is the lowest amount since 2012 and € 332 million less than in 2014 when interest payment was at its highest. General government debt will be reduced to approximately 62% of GDP in 2020 and to less than 60% of GDP in 2021, which is the maximum permitted debt limit set out in the EU rules.
