The government will take savings measures this year and in 2011 to ensure that it meets its budget-deficit targets, Finance Minister Miroslav Kalousek said. Without any cuts, the budget gap may reach as much as 6.6% of gross domestic product next year, compared with the target of 4.6% of GDP in 2011 and 5.3 percent for this year, he said.
