Aktar kmieni illum, iltqajt mal-Bord ta’ Reviżjoni tal-Affarijiet Ekonomiċi tal-PULSE sabiex nisma’ ir-reazzjoni tagħhom dwar id-Dokument ta’ Konsultazzjoni ta’ Qabel il-Baġit 2014, u sabiex niddiskutu l-proposti tagħhom għall-baġit li ġej. Ħadt gost mhux biss bil-fatt li grupp ta’ studenti qed jinvolvu ruħhom fl-andament tal-pajjiż b’mod attiv u kostruttiv, iżda wkoll b’kif ir-rakkomandazzjonijiet tagħhom marru lil hinn mill-affarijiet tal-istudenti u kkunsidraw il-futur tal-pajjiż kollu kemm hu.

This morning, the Hon. Edward Scicluna, Minister for Finance met with the Economic Affairs Review Board of the student organisation PULSE to receive their Pre-Budget 2014 recommendations.

The meeting touched upon various aspects of the Government’s recently-published Pre-Budget 2014 Consultation Document. The student organisation board also requested the Minister’s feedback on several points, such as economic stability, fiscal responsibility, and pension sustainability.

The student organisation board also tabled proposals for the upcoming budget across various sectors aimed not only at student welfare, but also touching upon areas like education, energy, tourism, and Malta’s sister island of Gozo.

Prof. Scicluna welcomed the opportunity to discuss matters of a national bearing with politically and economically involved students, especially welcoming how the student organisation’s budget recommendations went beyond student affairs and considered the country’s wellbeing as a whole.
