After looking at Romania's economic and demographic statistics, Eder began to consider this year's budget. Now Romania is adopting a radical fiscal approach. This is because Romania is now burdened with a lot of foreign debt and needs to spend 560 million RON each year.
Iraq repays its debt. This amount of money accounts for 10% of Romania's fiscal revenue, which is not a small amount.
Along with the statistical data, of course, there is also this year's fiscal budget. What Edel is looking at now is the budget plan for 1914.
In this budget plan, the largest budget is the military budget. In 1914, the Romanian army budget reached the level of 128.5 million lei, which was much higher than that in 2013. You must know that because of participating in the Second Balkan War,
Romania's military expenditure in 2013 reached a record high of 261.24 million lei. However, after deducting the 151.42 million lei spent due to the war, it increased significantly compared with 2013.
A large part of the extra funds than last year is part of the cost of forming two new divisions. After deducting this part, the army replenishes ammunition reserves. Each division adds 6 105 howitzers, which is another sum of money, and then there is procurement.
The cost of new equipment, military training costs, etc. can actually only be considered to be maintained at the level of 13 years.
Of course, as a guarantee of Romania's military force, Edel still leaves room for the army. This year's government emergency funds have reached a record high, with a total of 55 million emergency funds prepared. This is mainly because Prime Minister Bretianu may need to prevent newly occupied territories.
financial assistance, and preparations to prevent various natural disasters.
After looking at the details of the military budget, which ranks first in funding, Edel went on to look at the education budget, which ranks second in the government budget. Romanian education funding has always been the second most important expenditure. This year is no exception, with a budget of 100 million.
15.4 million lei. Most of it is invested in six years of compulsory education. However, with the increase in funds, the funds received by middle schools and universities are also increasing. The Ministry of Education is now considering whether to add a university to improve Romanian higher education.
number of students.
Now with the increase in Romania's economic strength, there are a large number of people making money in all walks of life, and their expectations for the education level of their children are also increasing. According to the survey at the end of 2013, there are 8,946 college students in Romania.
The existing six universities are basically operating at full capacity. If more students are added, teaching staff and school buildings will be insufficient.
University is not the level that has changed the most in Romanian education now. Middle school is the level that has changed the most in Romania now. Before 1905, out of an average of 100 students with six years of compulsory education, only 2.5 would enter middle school to continue their studies. Most of them had completed their sixth year of education.
After studying for the New Year, go home to work or go out to work to help reduce the burden on the family. In the final analysis, the income level of Romanian residents is not enough.
After eight years of development, Romania is now able to achieve 5.7 per 100 primary school graduates entering middle school, which is a huge improvement. Germany, which attaches great importance to national education in Europe, can only enroll 10% of primary school students.
However, this is not the highest rate. The country with the highest enrollment rate from primary school to secondary school in Europe is Bulgaria, which just lost the war next door. You read that right, Bulgaria. With a high school enrollment rate of 17.2%, it ranks first in Europe, far and away.
Leave other countries behind.
However, in terms of the number of university students in Bulgaria, it is far less dazzling than its middle school. There are only 2,455 university students in Bulgaria. It can only be regarded as average in several European countries with similar populations.
In addition to military expenditures and education expenditures, the third largest budget item in Romania is the construction of public facilities, reaching a level of 87.6 million lei. Among them, 217 kilometers of railways are expected to be built, and 458 kilometers will be maintained and renovated. Among them, the newly built railways will run from Iasi through Bacau,
Folkesa, Buzeu arrive at the railway project in the capital Bucharest.
This railway extends along the line at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, which can better solve the travel problems of the local people. Of course, this is external rhetoric, but in fact it can also facilitate Romania to quickly move its troops to the Austrian-Hungarian front line.
Edel also had this idea for the border. This railway has been under construction for almost a year now. According to the transportation department's plan, the railway will be fully connected in two and a half years. By then, Edel will have no choice but to take the train.
Take this railway and inspect the local customs and customs.
As for maintenance and renovation, this is easy to understand. Many of the current Romanian railways were built in the 1970s and 1980s, and too many facilities are no longer suitable for use. Now that the government has ample funds, these aging and unusable facilities are also
It needs to be replaced. So 34.1 million of this year's public facilities budget is spent on railways.
In addition to railways, another major budget expenditure is the construction of roads. Now every county in Romania has roads connecting its neighboring counties. Some counties with rich finances also subsidize paving them into asphalt pavements, while poorer ones can only pave them into asphalt pavements.
Gravel road surface. The existing 25 counties and cities in Romania also need a lot of funds, and the transportation department also has ambitious plans to pave all the roads connecting the counties with asphalt roads, so this aspect also requires a lot of funds.
This year's public facilities budget has also prepared an amount of 31.45 million lei, allowing officials in the transportation department to gear up and plan to do something big. It is worth mentioning that Romania now has 11,500 kilometers of roads, of which dirt roads and gravel roads account for 63%
, so the transportation department’s wishes still have a long way to go.
In addition, Romania’s seaports and inland river terminals are also expected to spend about 9 million lei, of which the main cost is on the inland river terminal in Giuligiu County, which relies on transportation on the Danube River. The transportation department plans to build a river terminal located in this county next to the capital.
It will become a transportation hub on the Danube River and expand the transportation volume of the Danube River.
After looking at the public facilities construction budget, Edel continued to look at the next major budget, which was medical health. The government prepared a budget of 51.1 million lei in this area, mainly to allow counties and cities to improve their medical standards.
It has also combined private and corporate funds to greatly improve Romania's medical level. Among them, the country's largest second national hospital under construction in Constanta is considered a representative in this regard. The Constanta government has joined forces with the Volkswagen Company and the Romanian Steel Company, etc.
Enterprises invested a total of 7.54 million lei to build this hospital, 45% of which were provided by these enterprises.
According to the plan, this hospital will have 800 beds and more than 120 medical staff. It will also hire more than ten senior doctors from Britain and Germany. According to the plan, it will reach the second level and first in Romania's domestic technical ranking.
Of course, it is the royal hospital in the capital. In Ploiesti, Iasi and other places, many new hospitals have also been opened based on their respective actual relying companies and individuals, but they are not as eye-catching as Constanta.
Thanks to the improvement of current medical conditions, the life span of Romanian newborns and citizens has been greatly improved. The mortality rate of newborns before one year old has dropped to only 164 per 1,000 people, which is 89 fewer than eight years ago.
, which puts Romania on the same level as Spain and Portugal, but less than Austria-Hungary.
Edel then continued to look at the agricultural water conservancy budget, science and technology research and development budget, resource exploration and other budget items. Finally, he signed his name on the budget, which represented that he accepted the amount allocated by the government. As for the approval of this budget
He didn't care about the many behind-the-scenes deals. The most important thing for Romania now is to work hard on internal skills to lay a solid foundation for the war that starts this year.
