This was reported by the Chisinau City Hall. The document was adjusted following its approval by the Municipal Council in the first reading in early spring.
In particular, the adjustments made as a result of the approval of the rates of local fees were included in it. Thus, it was necessary to extract from the draft the amount planned for the so-called sanitary tax.
Recall that this tax, at the insistence of local councillors from the PDS and the Socialist Party, this year the city authorities decided to abandon it. In order to reach a consensus for the approval of the budget for the current year.
After public discussions of the draft, the document will be proposed to the Chisinau Municipal Council for approval in final reading.
Political disagreements in the Municipal Council
The process of approving the budget for 2026 was hampered by political disagreements in the Municipal Council. As well as the delay in the adoption of the national public budget, which was approved in final reading only on December 29, 2025.
As previously reported by Logos Press, this is the third year in a row that the capital has been living on a temporary budget. But if the 2024 budget was approved by the councilors at least at the end of the summer, the 2025 budget was not adopted after nine attempts.
The city lived all last year on a provisional budget, developed according to the parameters of the 2024 budget and approved by Mayor Ion Ceban.
The adoption of the draft budget for the current year was also hampered by political disagreements in the municipal council.
