Budget cuts and tax shifts shake markets and costs
Criticism continues as shares fall despite claims of budget strength. The government cuts food subsidies by 160 million pounds, raising prices for bread and dairy while boosting the gasoline tax eight cents to 59 12 cents a gallon.

Old age pensions and family allowances increase.
