The European Union asks the Spanish government to cut its budget for 2024.

[EU asks the Spanish government to cut the 2024 budget] the European Commission asked the Spanish government to cut the total national budget by more than 9 billion euros in 2024 to ensure that Spain complies with the rule that the deficit ratio of EU member states does not exceed 3 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP), which is equivalent to asking Spain to reduce expenditure by about 9.3 billion euros. EU Economic Affairs Commissioner Paul Gentilone said EU member states should be cautious about public spending in order to reduce their public deficits.
