The deputy information minister, Rachel Nyadak, said the proposal will
be presented to lawmakers by finance and economic planning minister,
David Deng Athorbei.
“The council deliberated, look at individual ministries and discussing
the area of priorities and the council agreed to approve the budget is
tabled to parliament by next week,” Nyadak told reporters in the South
Sudanese capital, Juba.
The new budget is less than that of last year, which was estimated at
about SSP 11bn.
“The budget approved by the council is 10,842,316,325 SSP," said the
deputy minister.
Global oil prices dropped from about $100 in 2014 to about $55 a
barrel in 2015, causing a budget deficit in South Sudan. It is still
unclear how government will fund the budget.
The South Sudan economy is funded from oil revenues, which account for
98 percent of its budget.
In May, the finance minister requested parliament to authorise a $500
million loan deal.
