The head of the DP caucus, Ch.Saikhanbileg, spoke with journalists after the caucus meeting on Monday.

He said that a working group on the 2012 budget suggested reducing expenses in the budget. The DP caucus criticized the enlargement of the election year budget when world economists are warning of a new economic crisis.

Firstly, the members said MNT 150 billion for office buildings should not be reduced from the budget proposal.

Secondly, new roads should meet criteria of economic development.

Thirdly, an investment amount of MNT 2.1 trillion should be directed to economic development, and state officials’ foreign travel should be limited.

Ch.Saikhanbileg stated that the DP caucus will meet on Wednesday to discuss a draft election law and reply to the MPP’s suggestions.
