9. The Stability and Growth Programme • Public finances in the medium-term: SGP 2006-2010 • Government committed to reduce budget deficit over the coming years • Deficit reduction based on structural measures rather than on one-off and temporary measures • In 2006, the deficit decreased from 6% to 3,9% of GDP, a figure well below the 4,6% objective pointed in the Stability Growth Programme 2006-2010 • Therefore, the SGP is now under review by the Government in order to adjust public finances objectives to this better-than-expected result • However, the Prime Minister has already set the deficit target for 2007 at 3,3% of GDP (0,4pp below the SGP forecast), which increased the probability of having a deficit below 3% in 2008 • Most recent forecasts from IMF support government’s projections for budget deficit
