The Jornada also shared a report on local budget consultations and a list of the Major Planning Options measures (Port.). According to Law No. 2/2022 on the Framework for the General State Budget and Public Financial Management (see here for more details), Government should present a Major Planning Options Law to Parliament by 10 May. On 5 April, the Council of Ministers approved a proposed Major Planning Options Law (Port.) (Explanatory memo in English), with a fiscal envelope for spending during 2024 of $2.07 billion, $1.7 billion of which is for the Central Administration. This version was presented to Parliament on 6 April. However, on 21 May voters elected a new Parliament, and the new Government (led by the former opposition) withdrew this proposed law, as part of a mid-year rectification of the 2023 State Budget. |

2024 budget process begins On 29 August, the Council of Ministers approved Minister of Finance Santina Viegas Cardoso's proposal for a budget preparation calendar (which the Council amended on 2 October):
On 2 October, the Council of Ministers set a $1.6 billion budget ceiling for 2024, although such ceilings usually increase during the budget process. On 6 October, the Ministry of Finance published a revised budget calendar and circular (Port/Tet) for ministries to help them design their budget lines and assign markers. To implement this, new classifications were created. On 25 October, the Council of Ministers established the budget review committee. On 21 November, the Council of Ministers approved a $1.95 billion proposed 2024 budget, $350 million higher and one week later than they had decided the previous month. Transfers from the Petroleum Fund in 2024 will total $1.38 billion. The withdrawal beyond the Estimated Sustainable Income (ESI) will be $70 million more than in the highest scenario presented on Budget Days (see above table). |
