Presidential Office "Extra budget, no discussion, no review, no decision at this time"

The president's office said it has not discussed, reviewed, or decided on the supplementary budget at this time.

A key official in the presidential office told reporters today (22nd) that next year's budget is currently under discussion at the National Assembly.

The official explained that the senior presidential office official's earlier statement that it does not rule out the active role of finance, including an extra budget, was a general reference that finance should play a role if necessary.

Regarding personnel reshuffles, including Cabinet reshuffles, external schedules such as passing the budget for people's livelihoods and the launch of the new Trump administration should be considered, adding that personnel verification also requires considerable physical time, so it is necessary to look at the timing flexibly.
