Minister for a day
You balance the budget
Sint Maarten plans to borrow Cg 42.1M in 2026 — while leaving roughly Cg 40M of revenue uncollected. Flip the switches the government didn’t, and watch the borrowing disappear.

As planned, the government borrows Cg 42.1M this year — while leaving revenue on the table.
Revenue the budget left on the table
A simplified what-if. The amounts are the real figures the budget names but excludes: the tourist tax (~Cg 18M) and the entry.sx $20 embarkation fee (~Cg 22.6M). Here, extra revenue is applied first to reduce the year’s new borrowing (Cg 42.1M), then to the surplus — an illustration, not a costed policy. Figures are machine-verified against the 2026 budget; the choice to collect them is Parliament’s.
