Fiscal Responsibility and Economic Growth Budget Act
Proposed by Conservative Alliance Of Columbia (CAC) · Passed 11 May 2017
Rationale
This budget reforms public finances by reducing the deficit, creating a sustainable fiscal surplus, and ensuring government resources are directed toward national priorities. It lowers the tax burden on low-income earners, promotes economic growth through business support, strengthens education and public security, and improves long-term fiscal stability while maintaining essential public services.
