Briefings
An article published October 29, 2026, argues that balanced public accounts do not guarantee economic sustainability.

The text warns against reducing complex economic reforms to annual budget details.
Key points

- The 2027 state budget proposal is identified as the subject of analysis, with the text noting that the budget is not the place where economic reforms are detailed.
