Progressive Bulgaria has introduced three separate draft parliamentary decisions requesting that the National Audit Office carry out a comprehensive review of public finances across several key institutions and budget areas covering the period from 2020 to May 2026. The proposals were presented in Parliament on Friday and outlined by Konstantin Prodanov, chair of the Budget and Finance Committee.
Prodanov said the initiative is intended to deliver on the party’s election commitment to ensure a full-scale fiscal examination of state spending. He emphasized that the goal is to establish a verified institutional baseline for economic policy. “Every serious reform and sustainable economic policy requires a stable and institutionally verified starting point,” he said.
According to the proposals, one audit would focus on pension payments, social benefits, and administrative expenditure, including the application of the so-called Swiss rule over the specified period. This review would involve the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy as well as the National Social Security Institute. A second audit targets the state budget framework itself for the same timeframe, while a third examines the financial management of the Road Infrastructure Agency.
