Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Indexation of Taxation and Social Protection System: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Karina Doorley:
I do not have them to hand. I do not believe we did them this year. We spoke about historical figures for budget 2020, in that we ran an analysis of what it would cost to index budget 2019 instead of introducing budget 2020. It was somewhere between 10% and 30% of the available fiscal space at the time. I do not believe that we carried out that analysis for this budget, or if we did, we have not published the figures on it.
