Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van het Ministerie van Financiën (IXB) en de begrotingsstaat van Nationale Schuld (IXA) voor het jaar 2017

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the formal adoption of the 2017 budget statements for the Ministry of Finance (budget chapter IXB) and for the National Debt (chapter IXA). These budget chapters set out the planned spending and revenue for the ministry's operations and for servicing the state's debt, and the House of Representatives must approve them before the spending can be authorised for the year. The procedure mainly affects the Dutch government and the Ministry of Finance, which must spend within the approved amounts. Because the National Debt chapter covers interest and redemption costs, the outcome also bears on taxpayers and on the state's borrowing position.
