A Responsible Path to Recovery

Proposed by peopleswing · Passed 7 May 2021

✅ Passed

Rationale

Drumagh is still under severe IMF debt pressure. Keeping current tax rates protects the government’s revenue while our spending reforms create a larger surplus. This gives us a faster path toward reducing debt, restoring economic stability, and eventually giving taxpayers more relief.

Figures show the previous budget where they changed the new value.
