State indebtedness

Now news about the economy.

The government’s means are not enough to stop the state’s indebtedness. That’s what financial experts say.

The Economic Policy Evaluation Council says that taxes must be tightened so that indebtedness can be stopped.
The government has not wanted to increase taxes. The government has saved by cutting spending.

The Economic Policy Evaluation Council says that the government’s means are not enough to stop indebtedness.
Economic experts say that a good way to collect more taxes is to raise reduced value added taxes. For example, the value added tax on food has been reduced.

(Niku Määttänen, chairman, Economic Policy Evaluation Council) “Value added tax collection is a very large part of tax collection.
With relatively small tax rate changes, it is possible to get significant additional income, which really strengthens the public finances.”
