The draft of next year's state budget, sent to its third reading in the Riigikogu Finance Committee last week, reveals that administrative expenses are not decreasing but are instead set to rise, according to Urmas Reinsalu (Isamaa), chair of the Riigikogu's special committee for state budget oversight. However, the Ministry of Finance holds a different view, as it calculates the scale of expenditures using a different methodology.
