Stimulating the economy with economic indicators are in the red but at the same time meet the expectations of lower prices of the population. Therein lies the challenge of Finance Minister Xavier-Luc Duval, who presents his budget today, Friday, November 8.

Stakeholders in the business sector expect measures that will set the economy on a new footing, facilitate trade and protect jobs, whereas those of the civil society want more social measures that will downturn poverty.
