The President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, has unveiled a government diploma establishing the rules for the execution of the state budget for 2022 (OE2022), according to a note published on the President’s website on Tuesday.
“The President of the Republic has promulgated the Decree of the Government establishing the rules for the execution of the State Budget for 2022,” the website of the Office of the President of the Republic says.
On July 28, the government approved in the Council of Ministers the final version of the decree-law establishing the rules for the implementation of OE2022.
During the “briefing” of the Council of Ministers, Presidency Minister Mariana Vieira da Silva stressed that the decree-law “is aimed at ensuring control over the execution of the budget, as well as at relaxing some of the rules that have been in force until now.”
Last week, also in the Council of Ministers, the Government approved the Decree-Law as a whole.
At stake is a diploma that “aims to ensure proper budgetary control necessary to comply with the provisions of the State Budget Law for 2022.”
As a reminder, OE2022 came into effect at the end of June, after the budget proposal submitted by the previous government last October was rejected by parliament, leading to early elections and the selection of a new executive body.
This situation led to the approval of a transitional regime for budget execution, which will be in effect until the entry into force of the State Budget for 2022.
In 2020 and 2021, the relevant Decree-Laws on Budget Execution (FEEL) were not published, and the Government considered that the 2019 FEED remains in force until a new one is approved.
