The bill travels with an amendment to the law on the 2026 budget framework statement and the 2027 to 2028 projections, taken in the same sitting, in Montsame's account. Under the law the framework statement carries nine basic indicators; the two removed cap base spending and fix the base balance, and the two inserted track the growth of total spending and the size of capital spending.
It is the second cut into the rule in 3 weeks. The 2027 budget framework of 2 September suspends the expenditure cap for one year. Between 7 and 14 September an extraordinary session took the 2026 budget rewrite through two readings on a coal windfall, with the Audit Office putting the deficit at 2.048 trillion tugrik, or 2% of GDP, and the Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi dividend of 1.5 trillion tugrik routed to the pension rise from 1 November.
Opposition objections are to the 2027 figures. On Tuesday the Democratic Party group took a three-working-day recess over a 2027 draft with revenue of 41.3 trillion tugrik and expenditure of 43.6 trillion, calling the draft a breach of the law, ikon.mn reported; no other outlet carried the recess. At 11:00 on Wednesday the Budget Stability Council was to present its conclusion on the 2027 draft at the parliament's press office. No report of that conclusion had appeared on ikon.mn or Montsame by 19:50 Ulaanbaatar time.
It is the second cut into the rule in 3 weeks.
