"Despite the heavy difficulties in the state, the republic's budget is still socially oriented," the Head of State told it during "From the First Person" live TV show on the Pridnestrovie's First Channel
The President reminded that there has been budget shortage in Pridnestrovie for a long time.
"For a number of years, the means have been borrowed for the state functions provision. We've succeeded to accumulate about 120 million dollars in the budget from 2012 till 2014. As a result, the income was increased by 1.7 times. Nevertheless, the budget revenue is provided only by 10%," - Evgeny Shevchuk told.
He added that the country's budget has always been socially oriented.
"As compared to Ukraine and Moldova, Pridnestrovie has the lead among the CIS countries in the social needs expenditure," the Head of State concluded.
