Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van het Ministerie van Financiën (IXB) en de begrotingsstaat van Nationale Schuld (IXA) voor het jaar 2016

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the formal adoption of the 2016 budget statements (begrotingsstaten) for the Ministry of Finance (budget chapter IXB) and for the National Debt (chapter IXA). These statements set out the planned spending and revenue for the ministry's policy areas and for servicing the state's debt in that year. Parliament's approval gives the government legal authority to spend these funds. The procedure directly affects the Ministry of Finance and the Dutch Treasury's management of government debt, as well as the public bodies and programmes funded through these budget lines. Taxpayers are indirectly affected through the overall budget framework approved for that year.
