With regard to current reports in the daily press based on statements by representatives of political parties, the Ministry of Finance, for the purpose of providing accurate and objective information to public opinion, wishes to point out the following:
[*]The increase in inelastic expenditure referred to relates to the Government's recent request to the House of Representatives for exemption of vacant First Appointment posts from the prohibition on filling posts, a practice followed annually by all Governments in the years of the Act in which the prohibition in question is provided for. [*]These are permanent organic posts in the approved Budget which are vacant or are to become vacant due to retirements within the current year, which have been budgeted for and taken into account in financial planning and, by implication, do not result in an increase in public expenditure. These posts are considered necessary for the proper functioning of the state machinery and the implementation of government policies/decisions and for this very reason, their exemption from this prohibition has been promoted within the framework of the relevant legislation. [*]The number of positions exempted from the prohibition of filling in 2021 and 2022 was at the same level, in the context of the implementation of the government's policy to cover permanent needs by hiring permanent staff and not temporary staff or through the purchase of services. This policy was also introduced and implemented during the term of the previous government.
