Colombia's Ministry of Housing (Minvivienda) stated that $700,000 million is insufficient to finance reconstruction after an earthquake. [^1]

On 2009-10-19, newly elected Greek Prime Minister Yorgos Papandréu told Parliament that Greece's public deficit was 15,000 million euros higher than the previous government had reported. [^2]

The 'Budget of the Truth' raised Colombia's spending by 59.3 trillion Colombian pesos, including 34.7 trillion pesos for debt payments due in the following year that were omitted from the original budget. [^3]

Colombia's Finance Minister Miguel Gómez Martínez presented a new budget that he called 'de la verdad' (of the truth), which increases the state's financing needs. [^4]

Colombia's Ministry of Finance calculated that for 2027, debt service will rise from 5.5 to 7.3 points of GDP between the project submitted by Gustavo Petro's government and the current administration. [^5]

For 2027, Colombia's debt service (interest plus principal payments) increases by 31.7% compared to the previous budget project. [^6]

For 2027, Colombia's primary spending (operation and investment, excluding debt payments) rises from 457.7 trillion Colombian pesos in the previous budget project to 479.5 trillion, a 4.8% increase. [^7]

The budget addition request aims to co-finance housing recovery for families across all socioeconomic strata in Colombia. [^8]

By late 2010, the IMF said Greece's 2009 deficit had reached 15.4% of GDP and that there were 2,200 million euros in payment arrears. [^9]

Colombia's Ministry of Finance called its 2027 budget proposal the 'Budget of the Truth', saying on 2026-08-31 that it replaces the 'Budget of Lies' that was returned to the previous government. [^10]

The housing recovery program supported by the budget addition is planned to span two years. [^11]
