Macedonia fiscal rebalance
Entities: Bojan Stojanski · VMRO‑DPMNE · Republic of North Macedonia
Overview
In early July 2026, SDSM lawmaker Natasa Popović publicly criticized the government's proposed budget rebalance, denouncing the plan without offering details of the policy.
A few weeks later, on 27 July 2026, VMRO‑DPMNE MP Bojan Stojanski presented the fiscal “rebalance” itself, outlining a modest revenue increase to 379.5 billion denars and earmarking higher allocations for capital investment, wages, subsidies, and social transfers. The plan was framed as a way to raise salaries, pensions, and support private‑sector growth.
The two snapshots illustrate the progression from political opposition to the formal unveiling of the government's fiscal strategy, highlighting the contested nature of the budget rebalance within North Macedonia's parliamentary debate.
