Popovski said austerity in the budget remained the general principle, but added "once the budget is approved and money is allotted for something, however, there is no need for returning it into the budget." Jakimovski said he would emphasise foreign investment and development of small- and medium-sized enterprises.
Popovski je ukazao da čvrsta budžetska politika ostaje opšti princip, ali je dodao da «jednom kada se budžet odobri i izdvoje sredstva za nešto, nema potrebe da se ona vraćaju u budžet». Jakimovski je rekao da će posebnu pažnju posvetiti stranim investicijama i razvoju malih i srednjih preduzeća.
