This year will be crucial from the Finance Ministry's point of view as the year of economic restart and recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, Finance Minister Eduard Heger (OĽaNO) said on Wednesday. In addition, the ministry is also charting a tax-levy reform and budgetary responsibility reform in its plans. In Heger's view, the tax reform should motivate people to work. He indicated that the reform will cut work-related taxes and do higher taxation of consumption and property, while keeping an eye on environmental protection. Another important issue for the ministry is the pension system reform, as the system must be made sustainable in the long term.
