Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van de Nationale Schuld (IXA) voor het jaar 2009

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the formal adoption of the budget statement for the National Debt (Nationale Schuld, budget chapter IXA) for the year 2009. The budget statement sets out the expected costs and revenues linked to government borrowing, including interest payments and debt redemption, for that fiscal year. Parliamentary approval of such statements is part of the annual budget cycle that gives the House of Representatives control over public spending. The procedure mainly affects the Dutch central government's finances and, indirectly, taxpayers and holders of Dutch government bonds. It does not create new policy; it fixes the financial framework for debt management in 2009.
