Parliamentary Committee Reports 142-Million Budgetary Shortfall

Parliamentary Committee on Tax and Revenues reported today that the budgetary shortfall in the nine months of 2003 exceeded 142 million Lari (approximately USD 67 million).

?The government should collect at least 170 million Lari in remaining three months in order to cover the deficit. I think this is absolutely impossible,? Davit Salaridze, the chairman of the committee said today.
