Govt budgets will give more details soon, officials say

Beijing - Legislators plan to revise the Budget Law this August to give taxpayers more information about how their money is spent.

The draft amendment to the Budget Law will make it clear that all income and expenditures of governments must be included in the budget, Gao Qiang, director of the budgetary affairs commission of the NPC Standing Committee, said at a press conference on the sidelines of the ongoing NPC session.

He said the draft law would also include stronger stipulations to urge government departments to make their budgets public.
