Drafting the 2012 budget will be difficult, ÁSZ chairman Lászlo Domokos said at press conference on Thursday, answering a question by a journalist. ÁSZ has not yet seen the draft that the government approved in a first reading on Wednesday, he added.

Domokos said the Fiscal Council, established to issue opinions on the budget, would meet soon, adding he had spoken to national bank of Hungary NBH supervisory board chairman Zsigmond Járai about the meeting.

Domokos, Járai and NBH governor András Simor make up the Fiscal Council.
