Budget 2007 under consideration

The Interim Minister for Finance has announced that the Government National Budget 2007 is under consideration. He announced that there were two options in that regard : to continue to use the Budget as tabled by the deposed Qarase Government or to put in a new Budget altogether. His recommendations will be considered in the Cabinet meeting held early next week.

In the meantime, the President has sworn in early this week a line-up of cabinet ministers who will form government under Interim Prime Minister and Army Commander, Frank Bainimarama.
