The Czech government is proposing to increase the state budget deficit next year as the fiscally-conservative administration plans to boost spending on defense and a major energy project.

The budget draft has a shortfall of 286 billion koruna ($13.7 billion), about 19% more than the limit approved for this year, the Finance Ministry in Prague said on Sunday. The first deficit increase after four years of austerity policies is a result of additional expenditure of 49 billion koruna on defense and preparations for the construction of two nuclear reactors.

Thai Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendira Debyavati’s bloodstream infection has improved and her blood pressure has stabilized, the Bureau of the Royal Household said.

The 46-year-old princess, the oldest of King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s seven children, is still being administered antibiotics to control the infection, the bureau said in a statement late Sunday. It was the third health update on the princess issued by the palace in less than a month.
