Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon (Kulanu) participated in the Finance Committee's discussion on the recently-submitted national budget for 2015 and 2016.
"The budget which we prepared for 2015-2016 is the most socially-conscious budget ever submitted," Kahlon stated. "Every social branch in the Knesset, in the coalition and in the opposition, can identify with this budget."
He added that "The budget includes a significant increase in civil funding. In addition, we are advancing a series of reforms to support development."
