The budget, which foresees an increase of belt tightening for a nation that has experienced successive waves of wage cuts and tax increases, aimed at the budget deficit to less than 6.7 per cent of GDP next year - after the budget targets were missed this year - drawing thousands of people in the public sector, the abolition of collective agreements and the enactment of new spending cuts
