President Muhammadu Buhari has written to the House of Representatives requesting an increase in the 2022 budget deficit through domestic market loans.
Buhari said this in a letter read to Gbajabiamila during Thursday’s plenary.
The President also called for a review of the 2022 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) on which the budget was based.
“As you know, Mr President, the new development in both the global economy and the national economy has required the revision of the 2022 fiscal framework on which the 2022 budget was based.
“The total budget deficit is projected to rise from N965.42 billion to N7.35 trillion, which is 3.99 per cent of GDP.
“The increase in the deficit will be fixed with indebtedness from the internal market.
“Given the urgency of the 2022 fiscal framework review request and the 2022 budget modification, I request the cooperation of the National Assembly for expedited action on this request,” he said.
The Speaker thereafter referred the letter to the House Fice Committee for further legislative action.
