Government financial reserves were nearly depleted, with a fifth of the national budget being spent on debt repayment, meaning that the extent of the promised Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) was scaled back, with none of the proposed nationalisation or job creation.
As reservas financeiras do goberno estaban case esgotadas, cun quinto do orzamento nacional gastado no pago de débedas, o que provocou que o Programa de Reconstrución e Desenvolvemento (RDP) tivese que reducir o seu alcance, prescindindo das nacionalizacións e postos de traballo propostos.
